woodland area

Grove or copse

A woodland area is a stretch of land covered primarily with trees and undergrowth—essentially synonymous with woods or forest, though often suggesting a smaller or less dense expanse.

The phrase appears frequently in environmental planning, real estate, and nature writing: The property includes a five-acre woodland area behind the house.
