unwooded

Lacking any trees

Unwooded describes land or terrain that lacks trees or forest cover.

An unwooded hillside or plain is open, exposed to sky and wind, without the shelter or obstruction that trees would provide.

The term appears most often in descriptions of landscape and geography, distinguishing bare or grassy areas from forested ones.

The unwooded slopes offered little protection from the elements.
