Even though I cringe at a Don'tRender=yes tag, instead of self censoring
our database, I'd rather add a tag to say the operator requests not to
display these tracks to users. For me OSM is still a database not a map, so
using such a tag makes the data more accurate and lets the real map
publishers who use OSM data decide what to show or not. While still
allowing researchers, park management and the interested public to see
what's going on in the park in terms of actual informal/unauthorised trails
exist.

Are there any park management plans which include these clases? I'm
interested to take a look and see what other places it applies too.
