forested land

Acres of trees

Land covered with trees dense enough to form a continuous canopy.

The term appears in environmental policy, land surveys, and conservation contexts: The county rezoned forested land for development.

Distinguished from woodland, which may have sparser tree coverage, forested land implies substantial tree density.
