I've also imported a fair bit of state forests, parks, wildlife areas and the like. From what I've read and interpreted, the boundary=protected_area schema with all of its related tags are the *new* way of doing it, and leisure=nature_reserve is the *old* way. Protected forests are literally reserved nature, but the leisure part is a bit misguided.
I think that the folks that planned the boundary=protected_area tags would probably like to see the leisure=nature_reserve and the one for parks deprecated, but for now, we're seeing both tagging schemas used.
