Mountain Hemlock Zone (MH) – Ancient Forests
These high elevation forests feature Mountain Hemlock, Yellow Cyprus and Amabilis Fir. The MH has only one subzone, the moist maritime (MHmm). The picture shows an average zonal site. Fortunately, the MH Zone is mostly unlogged. Recovery from logging of these extremely old stands is very slow.
