This is why the botanist’s close review and the process that follows is very important. The due diligence process in building a treehouse takes some time and takes many things into consideration in order to design and plan accordingly. There are obviously many adaptations that must be made to build a house in a tree, and luckily there are intelligent engineers out there that have created a variety of tools and attachments to make treetop living not only possible, but safe and secure as well. Even though it is a very dynamic environment, the rainforest is no more dangerous than living elsewhere. We do get a lot of rain during certain times of year (though we are outside of the hurricane belt!) and there can be earthquakes in the Southern Zone. (Treehomes are often engineered and constructed to move with the winds and with earthquakes so while a conventional struc
