Definition
Open grassy spaces within a forest with little or no trees; clearings where sunlight reaches the ground.
Etymology
From Old English 'glæd' meaning bright or shining. The word originally referred to bright or shining places, then became specific to the bright clearings you find in dark forests.
Kelly Says
Forest glades are ecological hotspots—they have more plant and animal diversity than the dense forest or open fields because they combine the best features of both environments, making them vital rest stops for migrating animals and birds.
