Project Description

The United Koala Federation is wanting to expand the koala territory from Australia to the United States. Typically, koalas live in eucalyptus trees, but as part of their expansion into America, they are need of a new tree to call home in the U.S. Koalas like to live in tall trees away from predators, so as a starting point, they’ve pulled together a list of the tallest trees in America.

The UKF has hired you to help them sort through the data to figure out which tree is best suited to their needs. They have provided you with their tall tree dataset, and your job is to complete a series of three tasks to zoom in on the perfect koala tree. Good luck - the future of American koalas is in your hands.
