Trees Woods and forests, on Morden's map of Hampshire, are shown by little trees. Many of the trees appear to be no more than decoration  but as this symbol probably has a low priority the distribution cannot be taken with to be very reliable or significant. Many parks are shown filled with trees. Trees, outside the parks, sometimes seem to be grouped into woods or forests; in many cases these groupings can be identified with the royal forests of a previous age. These forests on Morden's map are listed below.

We have not attempted to explore the relationships of all groups of trees on the map with woods today.
