News & Updates from the park

The city of Santa Cruz just launched an anti-dog poop campaign and started with West Cliff Drive where there are currently six of these lovely signs posted. They plan to put up to 30 all around Santa Cruz. They got the inspiration from a similar campaign by the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office in Colorado.

Of course bacteria help decompose dog poop and might be considered a Poop Fairy of sort. However, as the sign says: dog poop takes much longer to biodegrade than wild animal poop and it’s a lot stinkier!
