does not compute...

[edit]

Logged three times, and yet there is no trace of the logging?

Doesn't it take over a hundred years for old growth forests to be restored?

These assertions do not compute. Geo Swan (talk) 18:31, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good point; the wording is unfortunate and possibly from a pro-forestry source; there are always signs of previous logging - stumps, springboard-cuts, etc. Perhaps a better wording would be "there are few signs of logging". A true old growth forest is more like (not sure about the North Coast) a few hundred years, not 100 - it only takes 60 years or less on the South Coast for a mature stand" of second-growth - pretty large trees, but still not "old growth" which implies original, undisturbed vegetation (other than the trees) and a mix of large-tree species (vs. replanted areas, which are monocultures typically).Skookum1 (talk) 19:03, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

needs a better map and an arial photo of region would be nice to...

[edit]

The article Could use a better map and a free for use arial photo showing the island neighbouring islands also so that the topography and the island's natural beauty can be seen as well as its coastline. Thechristiancontender (talk) 06:03, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
