Our Ecotour concepts for visitors

• Outdoor education
• We think people should come up to the roof and
  see the processes that are going on and
  experience nature on a one-on-one basis instead
  of just looking at it in a picture or walking
  past it and never giving it another thought.

From a birds eye view, the entire campus was
within our grasp. Clearly defined were the linear
street patterns and the sharp angled buildings. I
could see from any point on the building, as long
as I could stare around the trees. Suddenly I was
presented with an anomalous realization. In order
to see what man has made, the buildings, the
streets, the people and cars, I had to first
recognize nature.

Something so miniscule as having to move so I
could see around the tree reminded me that the
tangible things that we sometimes hold so dear,
had to be built into nature. The trees, birds,
squirrels, leaves, grass, are all original and
balanced. We as humans, are all guests within the
realm of nature.
