forested regions

Tree-covered land areas

Areas covered substantially by trees and woodland.

The phrase appears in geographic, environmental, and policy contexts to describe territories where forests dominate the landscape: Forested regions of the Pacific Northwest receive heavy rainfall.

It often implies ecological significance or conservation concern: Development threatens the world's remaining forested regions.
