Accidentally I recently looked up when a bunch of trees are, or can be called a forest. Which I learned is minimal 500 square meters.

How many trees have to be in that region?

It doesn't really mention that. And seems to differ between US and EU already, one source for example, says,

"Forest is a land area of more than 0.5 ha, with a tree canopy cover of more than 10%, which is not primarily under agricultural or other specific non-forest land use."

There isn't actually a strict definition of what is or isn't a forest

If it’s small area you can’t see a forest, you can see trees.

Well there are definitions, but indeed, not strict, as they do differ quite a bit who or where you ask this question.
