I'm sure this will be revealed in issue #125, but maybe someone can answer this now.
Is there a woods or forest close to Diamond Lake? Since the local druidic community is the "Bronzewood Lodge," is there a Bronzewood Forest?

Looking at the four part Greyhawk maps recently done in Dungeon magazine, the closest forestlands are the Gnarley Forest and the Celadon forest{where the gnoll Druid Mardack hangs out,from Dungeon#85?). The general area around Diamond Lake is hilly and adjoins the Mistmarsh. The Bronzewood Lodge could be what they name themselves nothing more.
But i guess i have to find out in the next issue.

There are likely forested areas in the Cairn Hills, but my guess is that the lodge is named for the bronzewood tree, native to Greyhawk. EGG described them thus:
"These trees are slender until after many decades of growth. The average size is 40 ft with branches growing at 45 degree angles from the trunk. The bark is a reddish-brown and hard. Leaves are narrow and toothed, from eight to ten inches long. The wood of this tree is heavy and hard, so that only experts can work it properly. If it is carefully seasoned and especially dried, the outer part will become as hard as metal, while the overall weight of the wood is unchanged"

This is correct. There aren't any sprawling forests in an easy day's walk from Diamond Lake, but there are certainly small copses of trees or tiny forested valleys nearby if you want to play a druid with connections to this terrain type.
