Measuring Trees
Looking for a fun activity with the family? Here is something that you can easily do just by walking and counting. Pick a tree and see if you can tell how tall it is.
For reference, here’s how tall everyday landmarks are:
2-story house = 20 to 25 feet
Telephone pole = 36 feet
The White House (to the top of the roof) = 70 feet
Statue of Liberty (from the base of the pedestal foundation to the tip of the torch_= 305 feet and 6 inches
Empire State Building (to the tip) = 1,454 feet
