According to a report on August 13, 2005
on the Times Argus website, "State studying bobcats near populated areas," Biologists are interested in bobcat sightings in our community.

If you have spotted a bobcat in the towns of Bolton, Richmond, Huntington, Hinesburg, Charlotte, Monkton, Jericho, and Starksboro, you are urged to contact the Fish and Wildlife department.

The reasearch is of growing interest as wildlife habitats are being developed by man.
