This concept sketch for the proposed environmental education structures at the Native Plant Reserve on River Road is not a finished design, but suggests what could be built if the cost estimates work out. This view from the river side shows 1) the parasol-like shade structure, with its roof of active solar panels, and 2) a glass-walled passive solar building that can house displays or small gatherings. The far side (street side) of the building would have less exposed glass than shown here and instead rise up out of a planted berm and display wall.
