Codsall Photographic will be taking pictures of the day, and can take a set portrait or capture your dog in action.
Lichfield District Council’s environmental health team will be offering micro-chipping for just £5. This permanent method of identification makes it much easier to trace dog owners, should their dog get lost.
From 12.45pm to 1.15pm, the council’s Biodiversity Officer, Chris Walsh, will be leading a guided walk, to explain more about the rare heathland, why it is being grazed by cattle, and how to behave around livestock when taking a dog for a walk.
