Hi Mike, 

 

Sorry I don’t follow this topic more closely but I would think with the 
mixed-used of national forests, it is best to use boundary=protected_area[1] 
but I know it has been discussed a bunch, so someone might have an even better 
answer.

Subject: [Talk-us] National Forest "nature_reserve"?

 

Some US National Forests, such as the Arapaho National Forest in Colorado[1] 
are tagged  "leisure=nature_reserve" is this correct?  National Forests per say 
are not nature reserves.  In most cases logging, grazing, fishing, hunting, 
shooting and off road vehicle use are allowed, hardly a "nature_reserve.  
Roosevelt national Forest [2] does not have the "leisure=nature_reserve" tag, 
so at the very least we are probably being inconsistent.

 

Mike
