The second annual springtime birdhouse building community experience with The Young Adult Program and Stone & Thistle Garden Club found another partner in The Creature Conservancy this year.
The partnership providing students with special needs expanded to include involvement with four classrooms at the Liberty School this year. This project was led by teacher Daniel Hunt, who sees this project as a way for his students to gain confidence for interacting with people both within and outside of the school, in activities such as:
This year’s project also provided learning about bluebirds' preferred house design, location, habitats, and conservation thanks to education at The Creature Conservancy.
The birdhouses were installed on The Creature Conservancy property on April 11.
The Stone & Thistle Garden Club extended a very special thank you to Steve Marsh, founder and president of The Creature Conservancy, who supported the project with the donation of wood, varnish, stakes. Marsh also took time out of his busy schedule to select just the right site on the property for this year’s four bluebird houses. The club also thanked Karen, who provided the Young Adults and club members with an exciting, insightful tour and discussions about the creatures cared for at The Creature Conservancy.
"We are happy to report that bluebirds have been sighted investigating their new houses! We look forward to continuing this partnership next year," said Pam Marr, of the Stone & Thistle Garden Club.

Thank you to those Council members who support the citizens and the Rec Center.
Please note, the rec center now requires 1/3 to almost 1/2 of its operations be funded by the City of Saline taxpayers. Approximately 10% of our City population uses the facility, while 2/3 of the members are non-resident. It’s time the non City residents of the Saline community pays its fair share.
What happened with the funding for the needed repairs at the Recreation Center? With all of the programs and community services provided at the Recreation Center, the nearby communities spending tens of millions of dollars to build new Recreation Centers, and the number of members/high usage for the Center and part
Name all the municipalities of 10,000 people that have their own Rec Center with a pool. I'm generally curious.
Saline Area Schools needs to take over the Rec Center with a Rec creation millage and maybe a short bond issue, too, for improvements.
The mayor and city council love to spend taxpayer dollars frivolously. More and more $$$ into the rec center, that needs to stop. We still don’t have drinkable water and yet the city keeps raising rates. Can’t speak for everyone but I would much rather have clean water than a “lazy river!”
Sorry, Toby Crotty. Do not align to your assessment or thoughts. While nearby communities are spending tens of millions of dollars to build Recreation Centers (because of their value to citizens and communities), Saline is in the fortunate position of already having a very good facility in place which now needs to
You avoided my main point. The rec center is a nice amenity for those that use it. However, it is not a necessity. Clean safe water that we pay exorbitant rates for IS a necessity for EVERYONE!
The unprofessional behavior while in the supposed role of being a journalist when talking to that protester is ridiculous. The incorrect information and “facts” you spewed during the conversation are just par for the course. Thanks for showing up!
I agree with your comments about this journalist. I use the word journalist loosely here, as a journalist should be bringing forth the views of the people they are interviewing, not bringing their obvious bias into every forced conversation.
I understand the right 4 peaceful protests, why expose children to hate and show disrespect to our flag, what is that teaching the children. As a Korean Veteran I oppose anyone disrespecting our countries FLAG, shame on the protesters,
