Hi Martin, 1) The boundary is is clearly a fence. Thats what stops you just walking across.
You can map the trees as several natural : tree or a tree_row depending on how long the row is I guess. Certainly not a hedge or wood. 2) The road is a highway, the grass is a verge.. the wiki suggests you can either tag the verge as a property of the highway or as a separate landuse=grass. Your call, but to me in this case its part of the highway. — Chris > On 27 Aug 2018, at 05:35, Martin Wynne <mar...@templot.com> wrote: > > Rural boundaries can be extraordinarily difficult to map.
