Trees Donated to Park
Today, the Tree Guild of Arroyo Grande, along with several volunteers, planted seven trees in and around the Arroyo Grande Elm Street Off Leash Area. All of the trees and labor where made possible by a generous donation from the Tree Guild.
Planted were 2 Gum trees (outside the park), 2 Sycamores (large dog area), a Lobed-leaf Burgandy Liquid Amber, a Liquid Amber, and a Tulip tree (small dog area).
The trees will help beautify the park while providing much needed shade in the summer.
Thanks to all who showed up to help, including: Kristen Barneich (Tree Guild), Gary Scherquist, David Hirsch, Judy Hirsch, Chuck Fellows, Linda Fellows, Francesca Fairbrother, Zach Hall, Kari Hall, Anita Shower, Sean Pierce, Mika Pierce, Marylou Hessellund, Thorn Hessellund, Ella Pierce, Miranda Pierce, Hailey Barneich, Madison Barneich, and Chris Insalaco.

Attendees heard speeches from Arroyo Grande Mayor, Tony Ferrara, Parks and Recreation Manager, Doug Perrin, and Association President, Cynthia Eklund. All speakers thanked and congratulated those involved who spent close to four years planning and raising money to make the park a reality.
Eklund announced that donations are still needed to pay for the improvements which include fences, gates, trashcans, benches, mutt mitt dispensers, and other tools needed for ongoing maintenance.
Eklund was also recognized for her extrordinary efforts and vision by fellow board members who presented her with an engraved glass wine cooler and a bottle of champagne.
A "leash cutting" was then performed to proclaim the official opening of the park. Afterwards, attendees enjoyed the park with their dogs and met a number of vendors and sponsors that were present.
