🦭 With winter just around the corner, it means it’s nearly seal pupping season.

We’re running a community pop up event in Sizewell this week to help ensure everyone keeps themselves, their dogs and seals safe this winter.

On Saturday 7 November teams from the council including environmental protection and communities will be joined by Coast and Country Canines, British Divers Marine Life Rescue and Wildlife Wise to share advice and guidance on how we can keep ourselves and seals safe.

👋 Come and say hello – we’ll be near to Sizewell Tea from 8.30am to 12.30pm.

🐶 As part of the upcoming launch of our new project, Coast and Country Canines, we will be running free group dog training sessions over the next two weeks. They will help you learn how you can give your dog an enriching walk that helps keep our wildlife safe.

Led by Poppy our new Coast and Country Canines dog project officer, and local expert dog trainers.

During the training there will be guidance on managing distractions, building focus, and redirecting your dog's energy into engagement and play. All done through positive, reward-based training methods.

We look forward to seeing you there!

👣 There are so many fantastic walks to enjoy whether you have a furry friend or not or by our rivers, estuaries and coastline - but please can we ask you to:

- Follow requests on signs, they are there to protect you, your dog and wildlife.
- Keep paws on paths in reserves, beaches, or fields where birds may be feeding.
- Look out for birds, give birds plenty of space. Move further away if birds become aware of you.

Saltmarshes are one of Suffolk's most valuable coastal habitats, providing vital feeding and resting areas for wildlife throughout the year.

This video was captured by one of our rangers while visiting sites near Aldeburgh.

While a dog running freely across the marsh may seem harmless, birds see it as a potential predator. Disturbance can stop birds from feeding, prevent them from landing, and force them to move elsewhere. For migrating birds, every lost feeding opportunity matters and can affect their ability to build the energy reserves needed for their onward journey.
