+1 a wood can be relatively small (but also has a minimum size, just a row of trees will most likely not be a wood), but a forest has to be big in order to develop the ecosystem it is. I'd also like to point out that we aren't operating in a void when speaking about landcover, there is already a proposal in the wiki and the key is in use: http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/landcover#values please not ~10k trees vs. 11 forest (i.e. factor 1000) cheers, Martin
