The South Soufrière Hills in Saint Anthony Parish, in the south of Montserrat are one small patch of the original forests in the south of the Soufrière Hills that has survived the pyroclastic flows from the volcano.
Despite being no more than a mile from Chances Peak, the volcano, an area of evergreen and semi-deciduous forest has remained intact. The area has been little explored since 1997, since it is in the exclusion zone, but fieldworkers were able to make brief visits in 2001 and 2002. The forest appears to be in good condition.
