A concept has been proposed by designer, illustrotor and educator Stephen Mushin (of CERES millipede fame) for an engaging play space that explore the microbes in our environment.

The proposal is for nature-themed climbing structures of varying sizes that engage children mentally and physically with their world. Accompanying signage demonstrates the role of microbes in the hidden world of our northern grasslands ecosystem.
