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.
