As anyone who owns dogs knows, they can be hard on the landscaping. Now consider some 4,000 dogs a week visiting a confined acre of ground. Carmichael Canine Corral has a remarkable group of volunteers who keep things clean and tidy. But, our temporary seating is stolen on a regular basis. Trees beyond their prime have necessarily been removed by arborists, leaving little shade in some areas of the park. Mud areas have been addressed by a recent workday that spread several tons of decomposed granite, but that is only a temporary fix. Much heavy-duty work remains to done for health and safety of dogs as well as humans, including drainage and grading. Donations of materials and money (tax deductible, pay to CRPD Foundation).
