Looking for a place where your kids can build forts, practice guerrilla warfare tactics, and re-enact their favorite scenes from page and screen such as “Chronicles of Narnia” (the magical world containing the ‘wood between the worlds’), “Bridge to Terabithia” (the magical land where children don’t die at the end of the book), “Friday the 13^th” (the magical land where a dead child comes back to kill teenagers), or “The Blair Witch Project” (a magical land where stick figures make loud animal noises in the dark)? The Burntvedt-Sandgren woods have been the site of such play for many years and look to continue being such a place for years to come.
