Día dhuit
I've been looking at your inquiry for the last few days and decided to investigate. There is no such word as "wesh" in Gaeilge. If you are pronouncing it phonetically then it can only be mheis or bheis. Mheis is the possessive of meis (a plate or dish) and there is no mention of beis in any of my dictionaries.
The only words for forest are coill, forais and feth
Is Mise Brian
