Forest in the Spring

You are in the forest, surrounded by lush, grass, field flowers growing wild, and the chatter of birds and insects. Everything is in bloom and skies are home to puffy white clouds. The tall, green trees sway gently in the breeze as birds find a place to perch among them, and call to one another. Sunlight breaks through the branches.

A forest, also referred to as a wood or the woods, is an area with a high density of trees. As with cities, depending on various cultural definitions, what is considered a forest may vary significantly in size and have different classifications according to how and of what the forest is composed. A forest is usually an area filled with trees but any tall densely packed area of vegetation may be considered a forest, even underwater vegetation such as kelp forest or non-vegetation such as fungi and bacteria.
