Refuses to move from the backwoods (6)
I believe the answer is:
sticks
This clue is a double definition.
'refuses to move' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'the backwoods' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for sticks that I've seen before include "Is bogged down" , "Old fogeys" , "Twigs or thin branches of a tree" , "Small pieces of wood" , "Adheres" .)
