Is there a directory of old growth forests in North America somewhere? I'd love to visit a few and visually compare them to more familiar forests assumed to be mature and wild, but actually are undergoing secession given the extensive deforestation here over the past 500 years. What does a forest of mature oaks really look like?

  They probably meant succession, which in the context of a forest means like the regrowth/repopulation, which can take hundreds of years.

    Yes, I misspelt.
