groves
Small wooded areas
Groves is the plural of grove—a small group of trees, typically without dense underbrush: olive groves, orange groves, a grove of aspens.
Groves are often cultivated or have a park-like quality, distinguishing them from wild forest.
The word appears in place names and carries pastoral, sometimes sacred connotations: the sacred groves of ancient Greece.
