What are the preferred tags for these areas? In the past at least some of these were called "State Recreation Areas" and had recreation as their primary goal, with secondary goals of conservation.
Now, quoting from http://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/conservation-and-heritage/state-conservation-areas, they have; "State conservation areas are lands reserved to protect and conserve significant or representative ecosystems, landforms, natural phenomena or places of cultural significance. They provide opportunities for sustainable visitation, public enjoyment, and research. The main difference between the management, objectives and principles of national parks and state conservation areas is that mineral and petroleum exploration and mining may be permitted in state conservation areas." I have boarder=protected_area name=* Conservation Area website=* and may add things like landcover=trees, natural=wood etc as appropriate ... Any other thoughts? I don't think they should be tagged as National Parks .. Possible inclusions leisure=nature_reserve _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
