The Peru Gazette

By Adele Douglas

Last Friday Peru Central School’s Cross Country Team helped out along the Little Ausable River Walking Trail by pulling out a nasty weed that can be a problem for dogs and their owners. Cocklebur seeds were brought in with soil during construction last year and while Fuller Excavating did a great job removing most of the plants there were still some growing this year.

Coaches Francia and Provost were happy to have their team help maintain the trail since they use it so often when training.The runners took to the challenge in good spirits and did a great job.  They deserve a big thank you from all dog owners who use the trail, cockleburs stick like glue to dog fur and can hurt if caught in a paw.
