virgin timber
Never-cut old-growth
Virgin timber is forest that has never been logged or significantly altered by human activity.
The trees are old-growth, untouched by commercial harvesting: The national park protects some of the last virgin timber in the region.
The term emphasizes pristine, original condition—timber as it existed before human exploitation.
