Sharing Tree in the Court Yard

Livingston Daily  and the Brighton Patch articles on the Nature Center's new court yard

and the Sharing Tree created by Michael Glenn Monroe.

hear how it was constructed.

When I went to visit the Nature Center about four days

after the Grand Opening, I was totally taken by surprise 

to find a baby raccoon in the hollow of the tree.

Yes, everyone it was a real live baby and he hissed at us while I 

was attempting to get close enough for a picture.

Apparently, the hollow of the sharing tree was deemed just as good

as the hollow of a real live tree by this little critter.

After being given some time to wake up and mosey away on

it's own, the wildlife staff decided to encourage it to leave, so

the area would be safer for visitors.

Next time you're in the area, stop by an visit the Sharing Tree
at the Nature Center.

Michael Monroe's children's books, they are amazing.
