Berkeley tries to rein in off-leash dogs at Cesar Chavez Park amid burrowing owl nesting season
Briefly

Berkeley city officials have begun taking action to enforce leash laws at Cesar Chavez Park, motivated by concerns over burrowing owls and burgeoning community feedback on pet safety.
Martin Nicolaus noted that complaints from park users about the city's failure to adequately protect the burrowing owls have led to heightened awareness and responsibility regarding dog leash laws.
The city is being cautious about imposing stricter leash laws, stating that a larger fence for owls could inadvertently create more danger from predators.
Despite the warnings issued to dog owners, Berkeley has not yet cited anyone for off-leash violations at Cesar Chavez Park, relying instead on community feedback.
