Construction of the Big Walk-Through Tree has begun!
The main construction of framing and skin is completed. The root flares need to be constructed and the interior needs dens created...
Prairie Section 3D is completed. We are still awaiting some mounts to put in but the landscape is done.
With the Prairie Section Completed we are almost finished with the 3D of the Wetlands.
