Perkinstown Commons Details
The Perkinstown Wildlife Commons sits on 288 acres of mostly forested land. For visitors, the old railroad tracks are a great trail to follow or cross country ski, but the real means for the preservation efforts are the New England Cottontail Rabbit. As an abundant species, few consider the habitat of a small animal population, but the cottontail has been on the watch for some time due to improper foresting practices. Their habitat is naturally new growth forest, so the goal is to create a bunny sanctuary for these little fellows to reproduce, grow, and thrive.
