NEWS LETTER

MAY - JUNE 2011

Thanks for stopping by.

LOST AND FOUND

A strange thing happened last month as I was walking through the property.

I spotted what looked like a child’s toy white bunny rabbit with long gray ears.

It was in the hedgerow along Washington Lane. When I bent to pick it up, to my surprise, it moved and ran under the tool shed. I coaxed it out but not before I sent an SOS to my friend BJ to bring her cat cage over. After a quick recovery the dear little bunny was on its way to the Glenside SPCA. We posted signs at MBS alerting “Heartsick Owners” where their pet could be found. The sad news is that no one claimed the lost bunny. The good news is: we are happy to report that there are loving families’s waiting in line to adopt the charming little bunny we named “Thumper”.

Accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative!

JUNE CALENDAR

Reflections of November 2010 Newsletter

Thanks for stopping by!

Recent studies have shown that the economic value of protected, open space, which Meadowbrook Bird Sanctuary is, increases home owner's property values by an average of $10,000 and maybe more in some areas. See reverse side for a statistics chart recently published in the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Meadowbrook Bird Sanctuary should not be looked at as purely a luxury in your neighborhood or Township.

It is beneficial to you in so many and different ways.

Poems - Fresh and Young - A Testament to Meadowbrook School

Hawks

by Rachel 6^th Grade Student

Huff, Puff I've flapped my wings for hours

A majestic creature

Wait, let me soar with you!

Keep flying, we'll get there

Specks against the light blue backdrop

Hawk

by Skye 6^th Grade Student

Higher and higher they fly,

All across the sky.

Wings spread wide.

Keep up with the wind

MEADOWBROOK BIRD SANCTUARY
DECEMBER 2010-JANUARY 2011
NEWS LETTER

Thanks for stopping by.
Have we thanked you lately? We’re thrilled to welcome in the New Year with our list of old and new holiday supporters. A favorite poem seems appropriate here: “Make new friends but keep the old. The one is silver the other is gold” THANK YOU ALL. You are the unsung heroes.
CARDINAL POINTS
We want to expand the experiences for our MBS visitors with greater emphasis on creativity and capitalizing on the sanctuary’s little known assets such as the poison garden[what not to touch] and our new snake sculpture in the Children’s Garden. There is so much more to the sanctuary than just a walk-thru. Our MBS cheerleaders want to get you off the beaten path with new things yet to come.

JESSICA’S POINT OF VIEW
Our friendly snake sculpture is in hibernation for the winter but don’t let that stop you from entering our “Name The Snake” contest. Send as many names as you want to ynys@comcast.net or P.O. Box 536, Huntingdon Valley, Pa. 19006 We will list them along with your name in next month’s news letter.
