Ranger's venue (6)
I believe the answer is:
forest
'ranger's venue' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for forest that I've seen before include "Large, densely-wooded area" , "Large area of trees and undergrowth" , "large area covered with trees" , "Tree-covered area" , "Large area of woodland" .)
