Canopy walk

[Tom Dunlap]

In the article it says that a couple of gardens have increased visitors and paid for the installation quickly.
What a great way to connect people with 'our' world.

Great article Tom, also i had a great time out in Canada working on this project, I had the opportunity to work w/Greenheart on this project and i will be going back there in 3 wks for the opening of the walk way.. It's great when we connect people to conservation as well..If all goes well w/my schedule at work I'll be helping them in Brazil somewhere in the Amazon on a monkey conservation project in late September . Here is pic of the plans for the project..

These are call the tree huggers they hold up the plat forms ,, nothing is drill in to the trees, it's like a Chinese finger trick.. ??

Thanks for posting the pictures...don't stop!

My next treehouse will be hung in the tree with few, if any, drilled supports. The treehugger and platform adjustments give me some good ideas.

The good thing on these plat forms is that they are made out of aluminum and really light..
