Responsible Dog Control Campaign
In March, Wicklow Uplands Council joined Wicklow County Council, Wicklow IFA and the Wicklow Outdoor Recreation Committee to raise awareness about the vulnerability of sheep to dog attacks or incidents of sheep worrying during the lambing season.
The joint awareness campaign issued comprehensive guidelines on Responsible Dog Control Practices to protect sheep and wildlife, from the presence of dogs in farmland areas. Regrettably, this is an ongoing issue affecting farming communities throughout Ireland, with the increased use of the uplands for recreational use adding additional challenges.
