Three Sisters Grove has three Douglas firs that have survived logging and fires over 500-800 years (circumferences at breast height of 22.o feet, 19.0 feet and 18.6 feet). Below, the three sisters tower above the forest around them. Blindman’s Bluff is in the background, Rousseau Ridge is on the right.
The map below is TimberWest’s account of forest by age class on Quadra Island. It doesn’t indicate all of the old forest that has been confirmed by the Discovery Islands Forest Conservation Project, but most of the areas shown in brown are areas of old forest (>250 years).
