How to locate lightwood trunks to upgrade Hytale’s farmer’s workbench

According to Polygon, getting lightwood trunks in Hytale — which are required to upgrade the farmer's workbench to tier 3 — requires an axe and knowing which trees count as lightwood, because the logs do not appear under that name in your inventory.

Hytale's lightwood covers birch and gumboab trees. Birch logs come from light green trees with a light grey trunk; on the map these forests appear as small green specks. Birch only spawns in the Emerald Wilds (Zone 1), so not in desert, snow, or volcanic areas. Gumboab trees are found in the Howling Sands (Zone 2): in the Savannah's dirty yellow part of the map you will see lone, gigantic trees that are gumboabs.

You can use lightwood to build structures like windows or to upgrade the farmer's workbench, which in turn can help upgrade your animal farm. Beyond those uses, the source material does not specify further locations or alternate drop names for lightwood.
