Woodchucks and Woodsters

     Following the blog article on Lime Hollow Center, a young reader wanted to know if there were any woodchucks at Lime Hollow. The short answer is yes. The long answer is more involved and directed to the parents of the young reader.
     Woodchucks can be found in the grassy areas of Lime Hollow. They eat plants, and will run or hide when they see humans. They are cute and timid and prefer privacy in nature.
     It would be a mistake to confuse them with Woodsters, that self-serving species of political rodent that has infested the City of Cortland. Like rats, they spread disease and should be avoided by decent, healthy people.
     Fortunately, you won't find Woodsters at Lime Hollow. There are no public salaries, pensions or fringe benefits to be found there. Absent this food source, absent this political rodent.
    If, by chance, you do see a Woodster at Lime Hollow, you can be sure that it is lost.
