They aren't exclusive to your definition, but could be applicable. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 18 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Came here for grove. One of the surnames on my mom's side of the family means "grove of trees near a bog" and comes from the same area as my best friend's surname that means "evil bog goblin" I like to think that his family was evil bog spirits, and my family were good tree people, and he and I have mended the feud. This has nothing to do with OP's question, I just thought of it when grove came up, and thought I'd share. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ArtieShaw@fedia.io 5 points 2 years ago I think I need to add both of these words to my vocabulary. permalink fedilink source parent [–] DistractedDev@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago Grove and thicket are the only two I've ever actually heard. I'd go with grove. permalink fedilink source parent [–] 667@lemmy.radio 1 point 2 years ago I’ve always used grove, but wonder if that’s species dependent. permalink fedilink source parent
