Location of old-forest on Vancouver Island
The Klanawa River Valley is located mainly in TFL 44. That licence is held by Western Forest Products, now in partnership with Huumis Ventures LP, which belongs to Huu-ay-aht First Nations. Western is responsible for most of the historic logging in the area.

Legal Old Growth Management Areas on Vancouver Island
This map will take a few moments to load. It allows you to determine whether an area of old growth is currently included in a legal OGMA established by the ministry of forests. Legal OGMAs are not "protected" in the sense that parks or ecological reserves are protected.
