The kids at WebWalkers yesterday nominated a tuliptree (Liriodendron tulipifera) at Crow's Nest to be included on the list of Big Trees in Pennsylvania.
Our tree is certainly not the tallest, and doesn't score as highly as some others on the list, but it is pretty close! The trees are scored on a combination of circumference of the trunk at 4.5 feet above the ground, the height, and the average spread of the crown.
You can see this tuliptree on the path from the parking lot to the visitor center barn.
