copses
Clusters of trees
Copses is the plural of copse, a small group of trees growing close together.
A copse is smaller and denser than a wood or forest—a patch of trees rather than an expanse: Copses dotted the hillside.
The word appears often in British countryside descriptions and hunting contexts.
