New Panoramic Photographs of Fern Forest Nature Center
By John Potter
Fern Forest is a Broward County Park located in Coconut Creek near Florida’s Turnpike. More accurately it is an area designated as an Urban Wilderness Area by the Broward County Board of County Commissioners.

Screen printed inside each article of clothing will be a story, fact, tidbit of information about hemp regarding its history, uses, and potential for replacing diminishing natural resources that are of particular concern in today’s dwindling options. Some shirts will also include an outside graphic related to the inside information.
