    These areas of primary forest are just northwest of the gravel pit on Granite Bay Road.

    Logging has recently occurred in the north end of the more northern area.

    The old forest is likely greater than 250 years of age.

    The views from the east end of Raven Ridge, above the northern area of old forest, have spectacular views, including of Main Lake to the east.

  • 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).
