Once the most widely distributed land mammal in the western hemisphere, the cougar was the target of "pest" control for nearly twoa centuries. Until recently, number of states encouraged the killing of cougars by paying bounties. Today, there are only about 16,000 cougars in the western portion of the U S. and Canada. Two subspecies, the Florida panther and the Eastern cougar are endangered and protected acto wildlife cording management pronciples. Wildlife management based on scientific research is essential if we are to have Forum Cliff Bachifton "No safer refuge than a tree, to keep small boy from deviltry." Katherine Gerwin Treehouses are as much a part of growing up as little leabaseball, ice cream and toy balloons. Treehouses are synonymous with fun, They are tun to buna and fun to be in and once they are finished they can become many things to the builder. The control room of a spaceship or a refuge where one can be along and think ones private can thoughts. A treehouse can be a hideout where friends meet in secret or where explosive feelings can be disarmed safely. Parents sometimes get the idea that building and operating a treehouse is like handling a boy a live hand grenade with the pin pulled. A treehouse project doesnt have to be dangerous, if the builder has an organized plan, the proper tools and a basic understanding of how to use those tools. The first thing a treehose builder has to do in starting his treehouse is to find a tree to build in. That seems natural enough doesnt it? The things that determine whether or not a tree will make a good treehouse holder are the arrangement of the tree's trunk and the pattern of its branches. Most pine trees are not suitable, which is too bad since there are so many around this area. A few of the other evergreens, live oak for example, can provide good sites. In order to be a site for a treehouse, there must be a least 3 points at the same level in the tree where the corners of a tree house platform could be attached. The best sites are those provided by trees whose trunks divide into two major limbs at about eight feet off the ground and which also contain one or two large branches at lower levels in the tree. After the tree has been selected, it is time to consider the materials needed to construct the tree dwelling. The lumthat is of beryard sells a common or second grade lumber lumber the to traditionally much less expensive buy than used in construction. This second grade lumber has knots, knot holes, and other defects, but it is suitable for use in the tree house Use nothing larger than 2 x 4" lumber. The platform frame and sidewall frames should be made from 2 x 4 ters. Also rope might be needed for making ladders and for lashing and suspending. To build the treehouse you have to start with a good platform. Since it is awkward and dangerous to build the platon form up in the tree, it is a good idea to build the platform the ground and then hoist it into position in the tree.
