Unlock the secrets of Tasmania's North East Forests at the Forest EcoCentre, Scottsdale.
The Forest EcoCentre is a unique, ecologically sustainable building that is the first of its type in the southern Hemisphere. An elegant 'building within a building' that was designed by award-winning Hobart archtect Robert Morris-Nunn, the centre is expected to save 80% in energy costs compared to a conventional building of the same size.
The Forest EcoCentre contains Tasmania's most complex digital video disc player-based interpretation system. Its interactive displays showcase many aspects of North East Tasmania's forests, including their ecology, management, unique fauna and cultural heritage.
