Conejo Cottontails
Picture This!
We’ve envisioned an outdoor, family-oriented public art project with 5'6" fiberglass cottontail rabbits, painted by local artists and purchased by local businesses, organizations and individuals. Maps showing the cottontails' locations include sponsors' and purchasers' names, recognizing the goodwill of donors and investors.
Why Cottontail Rabbits?
In the 1800s, a Spanish governor granted 48,000 acres of land to two loyal soldiers - one who named is property Rancho El Conejo - thus becoming the basis of the Conejo Valley. Conejo means "rabbit" in Spanish, of which there are likely some tens of thousands living today throughout our valley.*
