LBL Nature Station remodel project unveiled Wednesday

The long time remodel project for the Land Between the Lakes Nature Station has been unveiled.

WKDZ reported during Wednesday's quarterly Land Betwen the Lakes Advisory Board Meeting, Sally Coyle with Coyle and Caron of Orlando and Jenn Trompetter with Trace in Charlottesville, VA announced a sprawling architectural, zoological, historical and anthropological three-phase remodel.

Federal funding has been procured for the first phase of the project that will begin  with a refitting of the outer “Riverlands” ring of the property. 

The second phase includes a new aviary for turkeys, falcons, quails, crane, eagles and owls, as well as a new river otter pad, a new grassland for older elk and a home for bobcats

The third and fourth phases will expand what is known as "The Backyard" and the "The Learning Center" along with further walking trail development.

Officials say the goal of the project is to become the nation’s second-ever federally-owned property to become accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums  behind only The National Zoo in Washington, DC.
