Why forestpack is squashing geometry?

Hi,

When using "scaled surface(s)" (like on your "Box002" object (207.064 %)) Forest will inherit this scale (and that's not always desirable). In these cases, we usually suggest applying the Reset XForm utility over that surface to reset its local coordinates & scale. This will require recreating Forest objects (or apply the Reset XForm modifier too, delete it and Update surfaces data) to get the right scale. Attaching screen-shots. Hope that helps.

Best regadrs,

No geometry, should be scaled, unless you do so, in sub-object mode. If you just have to do it, you should  ALWAYS use reset xform, to correct the problems it will most definitely cause later down the line.
