"The New England cottontail, the region's only native rabbit and the inspiration for the Thornton Burgess novel 'The Adventures of Peter Cottontail,' has become so rare that there are just a few remnant populations.
"But a multiyear conservation plan involving the federal and several state governments, scientists, foresters, farmers and others is attempting to prevent the New England cottontail from disappearing altogether."
