forest dweller
Lives among trees
A forest dweller is a person or animal that lives in a forest.
The term often appears in anthropological or ecological contexts: Forest dwellers have developed sustainable hunting practices over generations.
It can sound formal or slightly romantic compared to simply saying someone lives in the woods.
