Open Fairy Creek on the map →
- Watershed area: about 1,200 ha.
- Old growth still standing: about 636 ha of 250-plus-year forest (VRI), including about 566 ha mapped as old growth by the province's panel (TAP) and 661 ha of legal Old Growth Management Area.
- Old growth flagged for deferral: about 414 ha.
- Recorded logging: about 21 ha (1.7 percent of the watershed); about 115 ha is now young regrowth under 60 years.
- Roads and water: about 9 km of forest road, 38 km of stream, and an estimated 1 road-stream crossings (a GIS estimate, not a field count).
- Recent high-risk blocks in the register: none labelled to this watershed (some nearby blocks may be recorded under the broader South Island area).
- The ask: before more old growth in Fairy Creek is approved, sold, or cut, the province should disclose the full-cost accounting and the site-level records. Ready-to-file requests for the named blocks are in the records-request guide.
