County leaders joined together to open the new Sensory Treehouse at the Gwinnett Environmental and Heritage Center in March.
Made of weathering Corten steel, this treehouse offers a unique experience for people with mobility disabilities to enjoy the tree canopy. It features a 340-foot accessible steel walkway with three expanded nodes, surrounded by a viewing and activity platform and a high-hanging hammock.
