A Need for Green
We want to give an update as to where we are in our planning. We were hoping to break ground in the Spring, pending a landscape plan and town approval. But we have found it difficult to locate sponsors and help with the landscaping. We are actively seeking support in this area, and we may have to raise more funds to cover commercial landscaping costs if we cannot secure a donation of services.
If you or someone you know has strengths in this area and would consider donating services toward the dog park, please let us know. We are looking forward to creating a new green space in town that will be a great place for dogs and humans alike. Thank you.
