Camp Twin Lakes, a not-for-profit organization that serves kids with special needs, has a wonderful new wheelchair-accessible treehouse that’s also very green. Designed to be environmentally sensitive, the treehouse and surrounding area features:
• A 1,700-square-foot green roof garden
• A 1.4-kilowatt, eight-module photovoltaic solar array mounted on a nearby pole to supply the treehouse three ceiling fans and misting system pump with DC power
• Two dry composting toilets near the treehouse
• A copper rain chain near the main entry to the treehouse to help divert rainwater that comes from a copper gutter over the door.
Eric Robbins, Camp Twin Lakes’ executive director, notes that the treehouse is “a perfect educational tool for children and adults to learn about sustainability options.”
