Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge is hosting a Rabbitat Planting Party on Saturday, September 23rd to celebrate National Public Lands Day. This year’s event will include planting native shrubs, managing invasive plants, and trimming overgrown young trees to create and restore shrubland habitat for the endangered New England Cottontail in Kittery, Maine. Activities will include digging holes, planting shrubs, using clippers or hand saws, and chatting about local wildlife and conservation. Fee-free National Park day passes will be available to all volunteers.
