Treehouse classroom
Posted by Schuyler on 12 May 2011 | 135 Comments
A brand new treehouse has been built for one school in Kearney, NE. It is used as an outdoor classroom to learn about science, the environment, and agriculture. Through fundraising and a grant, they were finally able to build this treehouse for the kids, but it is fun for adults too. Please check it out and I hope it inspires you in regards to outdoor education here in the Portland area.

This is great. 7 treehouses will be featured at the Missouri Botanical Garden in April. It was part of a design contest and winners are anywhere from architecture firms to students. They utilize 7 different trees. Unfortunately, there are no pictures (yet) but when there are, I will post them. Super rad.
Check out their website for more information. http://www.mobot.org/treemendous/
Manhattan treehouse triumphs!

This is the tree house New York artist Melinda Hackett built for her children. Her neighbors complained about it and after a long legal battle, Hackett won and got to keep the tree house. Not only that, but because her house was built in the 1860's, the treehouse now has a landmark status as part of the residence! Take that, jealous neighbors.
