Or they are above the tree line. Or maybe more (temperature in general, other conditions that don’t let grow trees), I agree a meadow does not have to be mown, but if it’s used for grazing (not after cutting a meadow for hay) it is a pasture. When speaking of “use” it seems logical to assume agricultural use, which would mean a meadow is used for the production of hay. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
