Tract with scrubby vegetation (5)

I believe the answer is:

heath

(Other definitions for heath that I've seen before include "Sandy, scrubby land" , "Sir Edward - , PM" , "Shrubby area of open country" , "Area of open land with gorse etc" , "Tract of open land" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
