Imagine being immersed in a cornucopia of quiet forest sounds — small animals rustling in the underbrush, birds chirping softly, wind gently shifting the leaves. This is what visitors to Michigan Technological University's Tech Trails can experience inside the recently installed nature megaphone. The 10-foot-long conical wooden structure, located at the intersection of the Tecumseh and Sure Would trails near the Tech Trails main trailhead on Sharon Avenue, offers a place of quiet contemplation that enhances the sounds of the natural world.
