forested areas

Tree-covered land regions

Land covered with dense tree growth.

The phrase appears frequently in environmental, planning, and conservation contexts where precision matters: The development would destroy hundreds of acres of forested areas.

It's slightly more formal than simply saying "forests" and often implies regions being assessed or protected rather than wild woodland.
