Before you conduct your search, Google the kinds of trees that are common to your area and get a sense of how tall they can grow. Then, gather your search party, a long piece of string, a tape measure, your phone, and a notebook. Travel to three or four locations where a local species of tree likely grows, such as parks or fields, and have everyone search for the biggest tree of this species. When you find large trees, measure  their circumference with the string and tape measure, and record your findings in the notebook. When you find a tree with the largest circumference, take a picture of everyone standing around it,  and make plans to visit it again next year!
