Imagine that most groundhog burrows have Community Volunteer Committees that help woodchuck planners identify needs for change in the burrows. Often there are needs for change in land-use that will better address current problems or attract new residential users. Features like sidewalks, school buildings, trees and new tunnel zoning defines the perimeter of the places where groundhogs live.
