Hippity hoppity….have you seen Peter Cottontail? If so, we need your help! The District Department of the Environment, Fisheries and Wildlife Division is monitoring the population of Eastern cottontail rabbits in the District.You can become a Citizen Scientist by recording your rabbit sightings and sharing them with our biologists. Your efforts will play a vital role in helping protect and conserve rabbits in the city. For more information etc…………District Department of the Environment.

Goodness gracious? Do we need rabbits in the city? And can you tell me how I find the time to find a rabbit after spending twenty minutes finding a parking place, waiting two hours for a plumber who never turns up, and wrestling with yet another computer glitch?

Who are these people who have time to prowl around spotting rabbits? If you know anyone send them to me. I have a great job outside my house sweeping the leaves from a tree, planted by the, yes, Department of the Environment, that sheds leaves daily and copiously between October and January. Rabbits, indeed.
