Cottonwood tree is being transformed into teaching tool and play area.
Kansas City, Mo. – A 29-foot-long canoe hollowed out of a cottonwood log is taking shape at the Missouri Department of Conservation's (MDC) Anita B. Gorman Discovery Center. The canoe mimics those used by the Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1804 to 1806, especially on their float back downstream on the Missouri River from the Rocky Mountains to St. Louis.
But canoe creator T.J. Jenkins has an advantage that the Lewis and Clark crew might have enjoyed -- chainsaws and leaf blowers.
