Thicket
Context
A dense group of bushes or trees
Explanation
A thicket is a dense stand of shrubs or small trees that can be difficult to move through due to the closely spaced and often intertwined branches. Thickets provide shelter and habitat for many wildlife species.
Applications
Birds and small mammals often seek refuge in the thicket.
Thickets are common in areas where the forest has been cleared or disturbed.
Clearing a thicket can be challenging due to the dense growth.
