Nemophilist(pronounced ne-‘mo-fe-list) means someone with a love or fondness for forests, woods, or woodland scenery, or someone who often visits them - a ‘haunter’ of woods. The word derives
from the Greek ‘nemos,’ grove, and ‘philos,’ affection. The use of the
word appears to distinguish it from the more formal pursuit of
‘forestry’ or ‘botany’ - suggesting a more artistic appreciation of
trees, or the simple delight provided by woodlands. The first known use was in 1838.
