    The straightforward answer will be that it is the setting of the play. Mr Thomas Lodge used it in his novel Rosalyndein which Shakespeare based his ``As You Like It``on .Besides, the present day location of the forest arden is in France which should not be confused with the Arden forest of England.

     Good luck.
