If you are driving around Homer, you definitely cannot miss them! ๐ Loose domestic rabbits are grazing on spring grass all over the city, from the high school to the public library. ๐ซ While some residents think they are adorable, others are dealing with a total menace to their gardens and landscaping. ๐ฅ Homer Animal Shelter director Jillian Rogers reports that this is a major boom year for the bunnies, but feral rabbits have actually been an issue in Alaska for quite some time. ๐๏ธ Local wildlife biologists note that a mild winter with less snow allowed more rabbits to survive into the spring, and because they can breed every thirty days, the population is exploding! ๐ Unlike native snowshoe hares, these are domesticated European rabbits that were either let loose or escaped. ๐ช They can attract dangerous predators like coyotes, wolves, and bears into city neighborhoods, and they risk spreading diseases to native wildlife. ๐ป State regulations classify these rabbits as exotic wildlife, making it illegal to release them into the wild or feed them in your yard. ๐ While residents can borrow live traps from the local fish and game office to catch nuisance bunnies on their property, it is strictly illegal to relocate and release them elsewhere. ๐ซ Since the shelter can only take in friendly, adoptable pet bunnies, locals are largely left to safeguard their properties with fencing. ๐ง Read the full story on how the community is handling the bunny boom here: #homeralaska#BunnyBoom#feralrabbits#AlaskaWildlife#homernews#CommunityUpdate#alaskalife#homerrabbits...

The Jesse Lee Home Cemetery in Seward is being restored after being abandoned and reclaimed by nature for over 60 years! ๐ณ Originally opened in 1926 as an orphanage and boarding school for Alaska Native children, the site was closed after the 1964 earthquake and the remaining buildings were demolished in 2020. ๐๏ธ During the demolition, the Qutekcak Native Tribe realized a forgotten cemetery existed on the property. ๐ฎ Because the original grave markers were removed and lost decades ago, volunteers initially had no idea how many children and workers were buried there, except for a single standing nurse's headstone. ๐ชฆ Now, thanks to the incredible teamwork of volunteers using metal detectors and LiDAR technology, about 40 grave sites have been successfully identified and marked with flags. ๐บ๏ธ While they may never be able to put a name to every single grave, work will continue this summer to scan the rest of the area. ๐ฒ The Seward City Council has officially started the process of transferring the land to the Qutekcak Native Tribe, who plan to build a beautiful totem arch entrance, paths, and benches to create a peaceful space for reflection and healing. โค๏ธโ๐ฉน Read the full historic update here: #AlaskaHistory #SewardAlaska #Restoration#Seward#Alaska#Community#CulturalHeritage#JesseLeeHome AlaskaNativeHistory ...
