How do you define forestry or 'managing' forests? Most forests in the Netherlands are managed by Staatsbosbeheer, the national forest trust. They have as policy (at least for some of their forests) not to intervene in their forests unless there is danger to visitors. The forests are typically planted by humans centuries ago, but I can imagine most of the trees nowadays have grown naturally (although I have no way to verify this). How would you classify these? I'm not the only one with this problem. There are hundreds of natural=wood objects within urban London. It seems that in the areas I checked, natural=wood is mainly used for small patches of wood, and landuse=forest for larger forests. -- Matthijs _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
