I'm going to call likewise whenever a non-Vaticanian says "Is the Pope a Catholic?".
I thought you might have something to say on the differences between woodland and forestry.
One is a landscape feature, the other is the maintenance of it.
However, the difference between woods/woodland/
forest is something that could be argued about all day- I'm not aware of any strict definition, and, like so many things in the English language, it's probably largely subject to an individual's/society's definition. I'd agree with the person in this thread who said woods can be used for something smaller than a forest- but then there's also copses and groves on that scale. I wouldn't describe an area of coniferous or non-indigenous trees as 'woodland' personally, though, but don't know why. At the same time, I'd call commercially-grown and managed woodland (for wood, not fruit or other products) a forest.
