Hi.
I thought natural=wood was for trees that had not been planted for the
purpose of forestry.
landuse=forest is where they were planted for forestry.

Use is not consistent.
Situation normal.
(If you harvest the natural trees, which one is it?)
forestry.
See the Forest page on the wiki,
but landcover=trees seems incorrect.
Why?
I would take it that the area is covered in trees.
What human purpose they are put to is not specified by the landcover tag.

Hi ...
I'm using LPI to tag National Park and State Forest boundaries and
came across some large "Inappropriately tagged areas".
Way 25968044tagged as Barrington Tops National Park, this area
includes National Parks, State Conservation Areas, State Forests.
Way 232137774 tagged as Myall State Forest, this area includes
National Parks, State Conservation Areas, State Forests.
Way169174227tagged as Blue Mountains National Park, this area
includes National Parks, State Conservation Areas, State Forests.
They don't have a source, I have made comments on the first 2
changesets- no response so far.
They appear to be tracing forest areas from satellite imagery, as
such I think they would be best tagged as "landcover=trees,
source=imagery" with no name nor other identifying tags. They are
all much much larger than their name would suggest.
The last one already has an encompassingRelation: 3550886 that has
tag 'natural=wood'. At least some of that area is State Forest
that has pine trees .. As an Ozie I don't call them 'natural' ...
it is hair splitting but I'd rather use 'landcover=trees'. :-)
The first one carries a tag "layer=-5", I assume this is to
suppress its rendering or at least allow any other tagged there to
over write it. I am tempted to use the same tagging method on all
three ways.
Comments please?
