primeval forest

Untouched old growth

A primeval forest is woodland that has existed since ancient times, undisturbed by human activity.

The trees have grown, fallen, and regenerated without logging or cultivation.

The primeval forest felt untouched by time.

The term evokes wilderness in its original state—dark, dense, and ancient.
