The main differences between old growth forests and plantation forests are the size and type of the trees. Old growth trees can get very large, much larger than plantation trees. Also, in a plantation the trees are typically all one type, whereas in an old growth forest there are many different kinds of trees.

Old growth forests are forests that have not been significantly disturbed by human activities or natural disasters for an extended period, allowing for the development of diverse and complex ecosystems with mature trees, dead wood, and rich biodiversity. These forests play a crucial role in storing carbon, providing habitat for a wide range of plant and animal species, and supporting overall ecosystem health.
The spotted owl is known to live in old-growth forests, as they rely on the large trees for nesting and hunting. These owls are considered an indicator species for the health of old-growth ecosystems.
