A small party of Read and Maurelle Islanders confirmed this area of old primary forest on December 28, 2022. That included mapping a Douglas fir that measured 8.95 metres (29.4 feet) in circumference and 2.85 metres (9.4 feet) in diameter (below).
This is the largest Douglas fir currently known by the project to exist on the Discovery Islands.
