timberland
Land with trees
Timberland is forested land, especially land covered with trees suitable for commercial logging.
The term emphasizes the economic potential of the trees rather than ecological or recreational value: The company owns thousands of acres of timberland in the Pacific Northwest.
In real estate and forestry, timberland is bought, sold, and managed as a long-term investment.
