The colorful change is rapidly taking place throughout the H-E-B Science Treehouse. One colorful spot will be the rooftop, where the focus is on sound.
Bigger and better, the popular green wall returns in the VIPIR 5 Weather Center.Visitors will try their hand at forecasting the weather, using information from a genuine weather station nearby.
With new colors the VIPIR 5 Weather Center begins to take on the look of the real KENS 5 Weather Center.
Some of the more popular exhibits in the H-E-B Science Treehouse have been retained, renewed and brightened up.

Repair of a retaining wall on the banks of rhe San Antonio River, across from the H-E-B Science Treehouse, will add to the beauty of the view from the Witte backyard. The City Parks Department has crews building a barrier to keep water from the wall while repairs are made.

 
The barrier is covered and sandbagged to keep water away from the bank and allow repair of the retaining wall.
Lowering the water level of the river also helps in creating a work area for repair of the wall.
Meanwhile - back to real life on the river - Why do you think they call them "ducks? "
