Satellite imagery and a drone flight nearby suggest there is a small (~3hectare) grove of old forest just north and up the slope from the Small Inlet-Waiatt Bay portage trail. The project has not confirmed this grove on the ground.

A drone video of Waiatt Bay identified a grove of old forest towards Small Inlet (see green dot)
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).
