Estela and Vivian, 4th- and 1st-graders at
Arbor Heights Elementary, are in their third month of a volunteer project in conjunction with the
Fauntleroy Watershed Council. They’re gone out every month to survey the trail – through the watershed of salmon-bearing
Fauntleroy Creek – for what visiting dogs left behind. We went along on Saturday afternoon for this month’s survey. Every place they found something, they marked with a flag.
The 10 flags they placed this time were fewer than their first two times (17 and 14). The flags are intended to both warn – one side says “Watch your step!” – and educate. They’re rain-resistant and made from paper, says creek steward
