  We inspect the propagation of shear polarized surface waves akin to Love
waves through a forest of trees of same height atop a guiding layer on a soil
substrate. We discover that the foliage of trees { brings a radical change in}
the nature of the dispersion relation of these surface waves, which behave like
spoof plasmons in the limit of a vanishing guiding layer, and like Love waves
in the limit of trees with a vanishing height. When we consider a forest with
trees of increasing or decreasing height, this hybrid "Spoof Love" wave is
either reflected backwards or converted into a downward propagating bulk wave.
An asymptotic analysis shows the forest behaves like an anisotropic wedge with
effective boundary conditions.
