If I get murdered in the country If I get murdered in the country
And my body’s eaten by a tree
Please don't go revengin' in my name*

[*In homage to a wonderful Avett Brothers’ song and its lyrics, which I changed to better fit this situation]

Ranger, there's a lawn on your big tree house roof This building of local wood that looks sort of like a tree house is U.S. Green Building Council LEED Platinum Certified, a rarity in Kentucky. The garden on the roof and vines hanging down the walls insulates the Bernheim Forest and Arboretum Visitors Center to keep it cool in the hot summer and warm in the cold winter.
