Build a Rabbitat (rabbit habitat)!

The New England cottontail (NEC) is Cape Cod’s only native cottontail. Once occupying the majority of New England, today NEC populations are found in just five locations (including Cape Cod), representing only 14% of their historic range. The NEC needs your help! Aside from managing land to provide native plants for food, the best thing you can do for the NEC is give them somewhere to hide.

Learn how to build the perfect brush pile (rabbitat!) which offer important hiding spots for this woodland rabbit. Read the brochure, Creating and Maintaining Habitat for the New England Cottontail, and please share with your neighbors, friends, and landscapers.
