A hypothetical question for fellow members, assuming you're left in the middle of a forest, without the knowledge of time, day and region. And are tasked to figure out the time, region and/or somehow the day, date, year etc, how would you figure it out using only the things available in your immediate environment (that's a forest, and you are free to choose what kind) and ofc the day-night cycle. Go.

I look around the forest. If I see eucalyptus trees and a kangaroo judging me, I’m in Australia. If I see birch trees and a moose, I’m probably in Canada.
To get the time, I check the sun like a normal person… then immediately find a tree stump, count the rings, estimate its age, cross-reference that with regional logging patterns which I definitely memorized for this exact situation, and boom : year confirmed.
For the exact date? Simple. I observe which mushrooms are in season, triangulate that with migratory bird patterns, and then wait for a passing squirrel. If it’s storing nuts aggressively, it’s autumn. If it’s judging me lazily, it’s summer.
Worst case scenario, I just follow a trail until I find a conveniently placed "Welcome to the Forest" sign with opening hours.

I genuinely surprised by the knowledge and effort in this post
