wooded areas

Groves and thickets

Land covered with trees and forest growth.

The phrase appears constantly in real estate listings, nature guides, and environmental reports: The trail winds through wooded areas before reaching the lake.

Wooded areas can range from dense forest to scattered tree cover, but the term implies enough trees to create a canopy or woodland character.
