Canada's Tallest Tree

A man named Randy liked to hunt trees. He looked for big trees and old trees. He made maps to
show where these trees were. He did not want to cut them down. He wanted people to take
care of them.

would make it the tallest tree in Canada. Randy set out to find the tree.

tallest tree and all the trees around it.
 Randy made a path in the forest so people could see the tall tree. The tree was so big and
beautiful it would fill them with awe. More and more people wanted to save that forest. Thanks
