Zuri+Kornegay+Champion+Trees

On January 9th I came to one of the the Audubon Society meetings. I came to see Gary Williamson, guest speaker, talk about what champion trees are, how they qualify to become champion, and how they are found all over the east side of the US. When I showed up there was a presentation set up to show us some pictures of champion trees that Mr. Williamson and his team found and measured. The most impactful part to me was when he explained the death of one of the champion trees 'Big Mama'. Big Mama was a champion tree that they found in Virginia, one of the biggest ever. I felt like everyone in the room was moved about this part. Overall my experience at the meeting was great and I leaned a lot about champion trees.
