I'm not a grass expert and the use of locations and mapsets is generally what most new users find most troubling I think. My suggestion would be to poll the grass users list on this, but if you are list averse. As a quick response, I would say that the location can simply follow your Coordinate Reference System requirements. Thus if your data falls within two UTM zones for example, create a location for each zone and load your forestry data into the location appropriate to the zone. Mapsets are just user working directories. GRASS harks back to multiuser environment UNIX servers and thus each user would have his own 'playpen' mapset to work in.
