For landuse=forest or landuse=forestry I think landcover=trees would be implicit (default), unless another landcover is specified.
I guess which values of landcover should be supported for rendering on OSM Carto is a matter of later discussion. For now I would be happy with grass, trees, scrub, and sand. 2018-06-12 11:48 GMT+02:00 Warin <61sundow...@gmail.com>: > On 12/06/18 19:37, Paul Allen wrote: > > On Mon, Jun 11, 2018 at 11:41 PM, Martin Koppenhoefer < > dieterdre...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> >> > On 9.
