A plug here for GeoHex's very pretty "Forest Floor" printed sheets,
which
can be cut into irregular-shaped pieces for woods - with just a couple
of
trees and a little bit of lichen placed on them the end result is both
effective in play and very decorative. One pack will give you enough
small
wooded areas for an average 6mm battlefield.
