Doesn't "durga" imply fort in Samskrit. That makes
DurgA someone with a lot of strength, since the
allusion is to "fort" which is actually a symbol of
power and strength.
And since you cannot get inside a "durga" easily,
so "durgam" implies a sense of "difficultiness".
So some forests are "durgam" since it is not easy
to access them.
If I am correct, then Swami_ji's observations are
not all that accurate.
