Hi,

Woods=Forest

Do I say, there is a woods in my town?

Or There are some woods in my town?

Thanks

Bambi lives in the forest / in the woods, and people like to visit forests / the woods to get back to nature, watch birds, etc.

You wouldn't say "some woods," but you could say "a woods." You'd be more likely to say that there is a forest in your town, though. People do tend to use "a woods" as though singular, that way. But "some woods" is not used.
