    in my mind that’s still forest, it’s not like most of europe’s forests are in any way natural at this point, any time you see a forest here in sweden that has a suspicious amount of oaks of the same age that’s probably a forest intended to provide lumber for ships a couple hundred years ago.

      I could be wrong, but it sounds like the trees form lines on a grid with no trees in the middle. Kinda like if you went insane and put trees every 10 lines in cities skylines. I wouldn’t consider that a park, much less a forest.

        I think if you were looking at it from the side it would look like a weird sparse forest. 3 or 4 layers might give eenough illusion if you have some brush or other greenery mixed in.

        Where I grew up in nd tree lines were more for wind breaks than described here.

        Here’s a bit a little south of Mandan, https://maps.app.goo.gl/fkns9wFp8NsnCvFy9

        Trees don’t really do well around here. And bear in mind this is the more woodsy part of nd. Past this it’s mostly grasslands even more.
