Forested

/ˈfɔːrɪstɪd/ adjective

Definition

Covered with or full of trees and forest; an area that has a thick growth of trees.

Etymology

From 'forest' + the adjective-forming suffix '-ed,' used to describe land that has been naturally or deliberately covered with trees.

Kelly Says

Geographers use 'forested' to describe regions that are more than 10% covered by trees, but this simple word masks incredible complexity—a forested area in Canada looks completely different from one in Southeast Asia.
