'home' is the definition.
(I know that cabin is a type of house)

'to abandon' becomes 'bin' ().
'ca'+'bin'='CABIN'

'woodland' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cabin that I've seen before include "modest accommodation" , "Wooden dwelling" , "Compartment on a ship" , "Ship's sleeping room" , "Shipboard room" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times.
