2. Town of Weston's Dog Log

   Town Officials want to learn more about user experience on Weston's conservation land and trails, particularly as it pertains to dog-related interactions. This information will help us to better understand the level of compliance with Weston's Dog By-law, to see if any patterns emerge regarding dog-related interactions, and to determine how well our dog policies are working. There are no plans to change the trail-use policy or dog by-law currently in place. The by-law represents the shared wisdom of the community. It is a social compact that enables all users to safely and confidently share our common land, and protects our treasured open space.

   If you have a dog-related experience you wish to share -- whether good, bad, or neutral -- please describe it below.
