Subject: Re: [Talk-us] Tagging National Forests

Well, perhaps we have a happy compromise here.  Tell you what:  I'll 
start with the assumption that a forest should be tagged forest. 
(That's fair, and/or I'm listening to your alternative proposition). 
WHEN, WHERE and IF you know a particular area to be expressly NOT a 
forest, you are perfectly welcome to exclude that subset from said 
polygon.  I'm fine with that.

Hello,

I have another suggestion, how about we do not assume. We seem to be in 
agreement (vast majority) about boundary=protected_area being the only tag that 
should for sure be applied to every National Forest. Please don't tag Pike 
National Forest with landuse=forest because some subsets have already been 
tagged (where you can see timber harvesting 'scars' in the imagery) and I have 
ground verified - by seeing signs (sorry don't have a picture) - but 
(paraphrased) they say "fuel wood gathering by permit only" and if you'd like 
you can contact the districts for the designated areas where it is allowed but 
shouldn't be mapped the other way around because it is a very small subset of 
Pike.

Cheers,
