So, rolling in the woods at full skill, but at a reduced value outside of woods is unacceptable, but the effect you really want is for the character to roll at full skill in the woods, but against a reduced value outside of woods?

Sorry to be harsh, but you're really splitting an awfully tiny hair over some exact mechanical details. In actual play, the difference isn't going to show, so it won't affect the actual appearance and effect of the concept.

That said, it's easy to get exactly, literally, what you want in terms of mechanics. Don't use the word "specialization", and instead just invent the skill "Woodlands Stealth". It only works in woods. Outside of woods, the character has to roll at default to be sneaky, as long as you don't buy the general Stealth skill. Feel free to make Woodlands Stealth an Easy skill, because it's not as broad as general Stealth.
