Located on the steep slopes of the Taylor River Valley stands rare ancient Douglas-fir trees and old-growth redcedars; a beautiful, fern-laden understory; and important habitat for black bears and other wildlife. It’s also flagged for logging by BC Timber Sales – 9 cutblocks totalling nearly 200 football fields worth of old-growth.
