A forest is a large area of land covered mainly with trees and other plants. It is home to many animals, insects, and fungi.
From Old French “forest” and Medieval Latin “forestis” meaning “outside” or “open wood,” originally referring to land reserved for hunting. It didn’t always mean just trees but also special royal hunting grounds.
Many forests are actually networks of communication: trees share nutrients and even ‘warning signals’ through underground fungi, sometimes called the ‘wood wide web.’ So a forest is not just a bunch of trees; it’s a living, talking community.
