In 'The Lorax', what is the name of the forest?

The story behind the answer

In “The Lorax,” the forest is called the Truffula Forest. It is the colorful woodland filled with Truffula Trees, whose soft tufts the Once-ler uses to make Thneeds.

The Lorax begins when the Once-ler discovers this thriving habitat and cuts down a tree. His business expands from one handmade Thneed into an industrial operation, bringing widespread logging, pollution, and habitat loss. The forest’s animals eventually leave, and the last Truffula Tree is cut down.

The story’s ending turns the forest into a symbol of environmental responsibility. The Once-ler gives a boy the final Truffula seed and asks him to regrow the trees. “Truffula Forest” is sometimes confused with settings such as Nool or Whoville, which belong to other Dr. Seuss stories.
