Ancient forests in B.C.

Environmental groups in B.C. are calling attention to the last remaining old growth forests in the west. Avatar Grove, near Port Renfrew, B.C., is one forest that has escaped logging. Conservation biologists say such forests would take hundreds of years to grow back, and tree-planting alone cannot resuscitate such ancient forests.

Such a shame that man has little respect for nature all he sees is $. Who knows how these forests looked 300 years ago how huge these massive trees actualy were. And yet these issolated groves are on their hit list, enough is enough.
