PRINCETON, WV (LOOTPRESS) – Princeton City Hall was one of six sites for Concord University Bonner Scholars to serve at during Make a Difference Day on October 22nd.
The seven students sent to Princeton gave back to the community by spending their time building and painting houses for the local bird population.
In the spring, these houses will be placed in parks throughout the City for both birds and the public to enjoy. Since 1975, Princeton has been designated a Bird Sanctuary; meaning, it is prohibited for anyone to trap, hunt, or otherwise harm birds within the City.
“The City greatly appreciates the time and effort of the Concord Bonner Scholars that built birdhouses for the birds that will migrate back to our area next year. We hope to do this project again with a similar group of students from Concord in the near future in order to further beautify our community and protect our local bird population”- Samuel Lusk, Princeton Economic Development Director
