Dog Run Foxtail Weeding Party Recap
On May 4, in conjunction with a city-wide dog area clean-up campaign, a dozen hearty and enthusiastic volunteers removed a considerable amount of foxtails from the Southside dog run terrace. This invasive weed poses a very serious threat to pets. The plant's barbed seed heads can invade the nose or burrow between the toes and inside the ears, eyes, and mouth and even dig directly into the skin.
Join the Friends of Alta Plaza Park in partnership with SF Dog as we weed out foxtails that are dangerous to your pets.
Socialize with your neighbors and enjoy complimentary refreshments. Wear sturdy shoes, hat, sun screen, and bring a refillable water bottle. We'll provide gloves and tools.
When: Saturday, May 4, 2019 10:00AM to Noon
