    >>When it's finished -- likely sometime around early March -- the southern edge of Wilson Park will feature an elevated wooden pathway that meanders through a cluster of existing alder trees to open-air decks and two enclosed rooms topped with whimsical roofs.

    Picture a cross between the Swiss Family Robinson abode and the Ewok village.

    The project, at a cost of around $350,000, is being funded through a grant from the Annenberg Foundation, which tapped a nonprofit builder by the name of Forever Young Treehouses to do the job. The Burlington, Vt.-based outfit already has erected a dozen similar structures nationwide.

    Each treehouse is designed to be accessible to kids, adults, the elderly, individuals with disabilities -- really anyone, said Bill Allen, the co-founder of Forever Young Treehouses.<<
