    Randy liked to map and protect big, old trees in Canada. He heard about an extremely tall tree on Vancouver Island that was reported to be 314 feet tall, making it the tallest tree in Canada. Randy set out to find the tree, but loggers found it first and wanted to cut it down along with the surrounding forest. Randy made a path to the tree so more people could see its grandeur and want to save the forest. Thanks to public support, the forest is now a protected park with Canada's tallest tree still standing.

    made maps to show where these trees were. He did not want to cut them down. He
    wanted people to take care of them.

    Randy was told of a very tall tree on Vancouver Island. The tree was said to
    be 314 feet tall. That would make it the tallest tree in Canada. Randy set out to find
    the tree.

    But someone else found it first. It was found by a logger. Loggers wanted to
    cut down Canada’s tallest tree and all the trees around it.

    was so big and beautiful it would fill them with awe. More and more people wanted

    tallest tree is still there.
