Relascope

A relascope is a tool that helps people who work with trees measure how big they are. Imagine if you had to measure how tall your friend was, but they were too tall for you to reach their head. That's kind of like how it is when people need to measure how tall a tree is.

So, to use a relascope, you look through it kind of like you would look through a telescope. You point it at the tree, and then move closer or farther away until you can see the tree really clearly. Then, you look through the relascope and it tells you how big around the tree is.

One cool thing about a relascope is that it can help you figure out how many trees you have in a certain area. It does this by helping you figure out how much space each tree takes up.

Overall, a relascope is just a tool that helps people who work with trees figure out how big they are and how many there are.
