Mease Meadows Forestry Area

Mease Meadows – Please Keep Dogs on Leads

Edingale Parish Council has been asked to remind residents that public access to the Mease Meadows forestry area is provided on a permissive basis and is not a public right of way.

To help protect this valuable nature reserve, all dogs must be kept on a lead at all times. The site is home to a wide range of wildlife, including foxes, muntjac deer and nesting birds, as well as sensitive habitats that can easily be disturbed or damaged.

Dogs running off lead can cause significant disruption to wildlife, particularly during nesting and breeding seasons, and may impact the long-term conservation of the area.

Residents and visitors are therefore asked to act responsibly and ensure their dogs remain under close control whilst on site. Continued instances of dogs being allowed off lead could put future public access at risk, and permissive access may be withdrawn if the issue persists.

Thank you for helping to protect and preserve this important local nature area for wildlife and future generations.
