reforested

Woodland grew back

Reforested describes land where trees have been replanted or allowed to regrow after being cleared or destroyed.

The term applies whether recovery happens through deliberate planting or natural regeneration: The hillsides, once stripped bare by logging, are now fully reforested.

To reforest an area is to restore its forest cover.
