Thanks Brendan, the VicMap Lite Public Land Classification dataset doesn't contain the names of each State Forest, just their boundaries. But this works fine in cases where we already have a State Forest mapped and named in OSM but our boundaries are a bit off. You can open the dataset as a layer

A relevant open source dataset would be Vicmap Lite - Public Land Classification Polygon (CC-BY 4.0 with waiver) https://vic.digitaltwin.terria.io/#share=s-6WFVT7Kbk2STaCyQsxWl8CiRaic Note Vicmap Lite already has softwood plantation polygons on public land. Public Land Management PLM25 (CC-BY)

Hi Ian, I fully concur with your suggestion. I was in the Wombat State Forest and found the map didn't necessarily match the ground truth, possibly due to abutting landowners being geographically challenged when adding fencing so it would be great if state forests could be simplified so it is

Hi all, landuse=forest is widely used to denote State Forests in OSM, due to legislated landuse of timber harvesting. However, from 1 Jan this year, timber harvesting is now banned in all native forests in Victoria, so the problematic landuse=forest tag is no longer appropriate. I’m seeking
