forest glade
Sunlit forest clearing
A forest glade is a small open area within a woodland, where trees give way to grass or wildflowers.
The word evokes sunlit clearings in otherwise dense forest—places of sudden brightness and visibility: We rested in a forest glade where deer had been grazing.
The term is somewhat literary, common in fantasy fiction and nature writing.
