</blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I think for me the wording isn't quite right. For me landuse=forest is something that has been planted for the purpose of harvesting trees. Therefore planting trees to prevent landslides, or to block road noise, or to provide leisure is not a case of landuse=forest. Similarly simply managing trees (even if by a national "Forestry Commission") for the purpose of keeping an area safe to the public is not a case of landuse=forest.<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Perhaps a crop=tree tag would have made more sense than landuse=forest??<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I quite like Imagico's idea (below). I think we should implement that and then if in a year or so there is still a mess between landuse=forest and natural=wood we should introduce a new tag (crop=trees which now provides the overlay pattern) and treat landuse=forest and natural=wood as the same thing.<br>

pointed out could be emphasized in rendering by drawing only
natural=wood as a solid color area and distinguish landuse=forest with a
different overlay pattern indicating the use for forestry (some
trees+piles of logs symbolism maybe)"<br></div></div>
