Woods in Escape from Tarkov is set in the Priozersk Nature Reserve , a state-protected wildlife reserve in the Northwestern region of Tarkov.

In-game location

The map description places Woods in a nature reserve rather than a city or military base, which is why it feels so open and forested.

Practical takeaway

If you meant a quest or extract tied to Reserve, note that Woods itself is the forest map; “Reserve” is a separate Tarkov location.

TL;DR

Woods is the big forest map in the Priozersk Nature Reserve area.
