Watershed area: about 5,052 ha.
Old growth still standing: about 1,208 ha of 250-plus-year forest (VRI), including about 1,096 ha mapped as old growth by the province's panel (TAP) and 908 ha of legal Old Growth Management Area.
Old growth flagged for deferral: about 768 ha.
Recorded logging: about 1,229 ha (24.3 percent of the watershed); about 2,154 ha is now young regrowth under 60 years.
Roads and water: about 224 km of forest road, 126 km of stream, and an estimated 88 road-stream crossings (a GIS estimate, not a field count).
Recent high-risk blocks (harvest 2015 or later, near old growth, deferral, water, fish, or recreation): 5. Highest-impact: OPENING_ID 1770235 (harvest 2020, priority-deferral; old growth (TAP); stream); OPENING_ID 1741645 (harvest 2020, stream; fish record); OPENING_ID 1714080 (harvest 2018, stream; fish record).
The ask: before more old growth in Renfrew 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.
