I agree that boundary=protected_area seems to be the best fit so far. However there's really no classification under "protect_class=" that fits the bill.

I'd almost like to see #27 added under social-protected-area http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dprotected_area#Social-protected-area with the description of "Public ground owned by Government entity (BLM, Forest Service, some Freedom to Roam land)."

I guess if the above was made then the following tagging scheme may work:

BLM:
        boundary=protected_area
        name=BLM
        protect_class=27
        operator=Bureau of Land Management
        protection_title=Public Access Land
        ownership=national

State owned (Montana specific titles):
        boundary=protected_area
        name=Montana State Land Trust
        protect_class=27
        operator=Montana State Land Trust
        protection_title=Public Access Land
        ownership=state


Forest service
        boundary=protected_area
        name=National Forest
        protect_class=6
        operator=National Forest Service
        protection_title=Public Access Land
        ownership=national

Specifically in the maps, I can easily see how to tag the green items
on the maps, as those are National Forest Service lands. Although
there is a bit of confusion here as well. Not all of the Forest
Service lands are covered by forest. So I guess my question is how
are you tagging public lands?
First reading you post I thought it's about mapping ownership in
general. But after spending some more thoughts I think this falls more
into the mapping on actually relevant use permissions/restrictions. So
the closest concept is probably boundary=protected_area although it
perhaps doesn't fit exactly.

As you mentioned the concept of "public land" could be rather specific
to some countries, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_to_roam gives
some aspects.
