<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi <br>
<br>
I think there are a few reasons, but let's start with the basics:<br>
<br>
For two things so similar it's confusing to have two separate key
values: natural & landuse. IMO both should use natural (which
trees are of course).<br>
<br>
Any description of their management/harvesting should be put into
sub tags. However I will go as far as to say there a very few
areas of trees in the world that have been manipulated by humans
in some form or manner. <br>
<br>
If there is any differences between wood & forest I would say
it's in their size and/or density, but I've no idea where you'd
put the dividing line.<br>

<br>
Sorry to raise this issue again but it really does need
resolving:<br>
<br>
* for ensuring good data; and <br>
* to prevent forest and wood being rendered as the same thing

Currently the descriptions in the green box on the right of
the wiki page (and thus those that get picked up by taginfo
and other software) are:<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Wood: Woodland with no forestry</div>
<div>Forest: Managed woodland or woodland plantation.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>In my eyes this is pretty clear. What am I missing / why
does there seem to be so much confusion?<br>
