From Atlanta Intown…

The Fernbank Museum of Natural History in Druid Hills has announced significant expansion plans, which includes the 75-acre Fernbank Forest.

The new outdoor adventure experience will occupy the 10 acres of mature woodlands behind the Museum’s terrace overlook. Experiences will include tree pods, play areas,  ground trails, sensory stations, adventure nets, hands-on water cycle activities, a restored wetland and “floating” walkways. It’s expected to open in the summer of 2016.
