wooded area

Grove or copse

A wooded area is land covered with trees—a forest, grove, or woodland.

The phrase appears frequently in real estate listings, news reports, and police descriptions: The body was found in a wooded area behind the shopping center.

It suggests a tract of trees without specifying size or density, often near developed land rather than deep wilderness.
