The entry to the children's area was marked by a sign that read, "Art In Nature." It had been constructed using natural elements, such as bark and twine. Less natural were metal brads which held the ends of the letters.

Art work number 9 was constructed from wildflowers, bark, and leaves. It might have represented a snake's grave, or a path for pixies.

Art work number 7 was created using green and dead pine needles and pine branches arranged on grass. This work might resemble the crash site of a large bird years afterward.

Art arrangement number 3 was titled, "The Village." It was composed of art buildings created from branches, bark, and flowers. Or was it a village of art, rather than art resembling a village?

Art exhibit number 5 was created by hanging moss balls from rope made from woven moss. The ground resembled a place where balls fell to die.
