Randy was told of a very tall tree on Vancouver Island. The tree was said two 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 an logger. Loggers wanted to cut down Canada’s tallest tree and all the tree's around it.

Randy made a path in the forest so people could see the tall tree on a monday. The tree was so big and beautiful it would fill them with love. 

More and more people wanted to save that forest. Thanks to these people, that forest is now a park. Canada’s tallest tree is still their. Were greatful that the tree still stands.

There may still be a bigger tree then this tree in Canada out there. Maybe you will find it. But there are only a few old forests left in Canada. Many are still at risk of being cut down.
