How to hunt forest
Forest green is the colour municipal things get painted, so any public park will supply half a grid: gates, benches, railings, bins, and signposts. Real conifers photograph almost black — you will get a better cell from painted metal than from an actual tree.
What forest gets confused with
Plain green is much brighter. Teal has blue in it. If your find reads as near-black in the photo, it has gone past forest — find something with light falling on it.
