The term Carolinian Forest is applied to old growth forests in the far south of the Province of Ontario. These forests are largely composed of large and slow growing hardwoods.

Relatively few stands of Carolinian forest remain, most having been clear-cut to turn the fertile soil where they were found into farmland. Less than 0.1 percent of Canada's forests are Carolinian forest.
