forestland

Acres of timber

Forestland is land covered by forest—trees and associated vegetation growing densely enough to form a wooded area.

The term appears in environmental policy, land management, and real estate contexts: The county preserved two thousand acres of forestland.

Also spelled as two words: forest land.
