Only remote places, but no they are getting them with heli-logging. ps, Pacific rim park is a little slice of pie compared to the Amazon, important and should be saved, but typical BCers, (i am one) bother me when they show how brainwashed they are, go out on the land, go down some logging roads, find some REAL old growth, trust me I pick Pine Mushrooms and there isnt much left.

The need to be mentioned more than once per article or they get all hotie-totie. I think your missing out on the fact that due to building huge decks on your 3000 sq ft cedar clad homes that most of your intact old growth is in little patches in parks. Sure there is some left but don't be fooled, the gov calls anything over 100 years "old growth" in BC. There is some wonderful trees left in North America, but when you look at the rest of the world you know there is much more to it than your local park or ski area. In other places in teh world there was no logging roads even 30 years ago. North America logged the heck out of the west coast long long ago. Typical North Americans on here.
