Foxtails are taking over the large dog park. Can you please mow them down with a bag attached to the mower to collect them? Many dogs are being injured by the foxtails, requiring emergency vet visits and surgeries.

The Park was mowed yesterday and bagged. We are also trying to convert a larger riding mower which has a large capacity self dumping bag to handle the terrain of the dog park. The hope is if we can get this lager mower to work in this area it may do a better job.
Before the drought we had a large volunteer group who helped rake the area after mowing. I would be happy to provide tools to help remove as many fox tails as possible. The good news is the rains are back, the bad news is the fox tails are as well. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
Thanks
