| 释义 |
Obabika old-growth forest is an Eastern White Pine and Red Pine dominated old-growth forest at the north end of Obabika Lake, just west of the Temagami region of Ontario, Canada. At {{convert|2400|ha}} in size, is commonly considered to be the largest remaining white pine dominated old-growth forest in the world.[1] [2]It is also sometimes called Chee-Skon Lake old-growth forest, or Wakimika Triangle old-growth forest. This area was slated for logging in 1989 and was protected largely as a result of a blockade on Red Squirrel Road in which 344 protestors were arrested, including future Ontario premier Bob Rae.[3] The oldest trees in the Obabika old-growth forest are confirmed to be at least 375 years old, but a diversity of age classes occur in this forest.[4] Another important feature of the area is the spirit rock, a column of rock on the shore of Chee-Skon Lake that is of spiritual significance to the Teme-Augama Anishnabai people. The Obabika old-growth forest is protected within the Obabika River Provincial Park. The forest is accessed by more than 6 km of trails, but the trail-head can only be reached by canoe.
