forested
/ˈfɔːr.ɪs.tɪd/
This term describes a landscape defined by the dominance of trees, evoking a sense of density, shade, and organic enclosure. It is typically used in geographical or ecological contexts to describe the physical state of a territory rather than the act of planting trees.
While "wooded" often suggests a smaller, more manageable collection of trees or a pleasant grove, "forested" carries a weight of scale and wildness. It suggests an expansive, often untamed environment where the canopy creates a distinct ecosystem.

Etymology

The term originally referred to a piece of land reserved by a monarch for hunting, regardless of whether it was actually wooded, before evolving into the general description of land covered in trees.
