I’ve been searching for a bit and figured I’d ask y’all.

    It would depend exactly how big/substantial this ‘gathering’ is, but I could imagine that “Grove”, “Stand” or “Thicket” might be appropriate.

    They aren’t exclusive to your definition, but could be applicable.

      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.

      I’ve always used grove, but wonder if that’s species dependent.
