Satellite imagery suggests there are 3 or more groves of old forest near the summit of Mount Yeatman. The project has not yet ground-truthed these. TimberWest's mapping of old forest shows extensive areas of old forest in this area. These are likely low-productivity sites with relatively small trees.
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).
