forested region

Land with trees

A forested region is an area characterized by dense tree coverage—woodland territory large enough to constitute a distinct geographical zone.

The phrase appears in environmental policy, land management, and geography: The forested regions of the Pacific Northwest receive abundant rainfall.

It emphasizes the landscape's dominant feature rather than specific tree species.
