<div>Was mapping yesterday, put in an area, then when I
started searching for the description, iD brought up one
of it's totally inappropriate suggestions of clearcut: <a

moz-do-not-send="true">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag%3Aman_made%3Dclearcut</a>,
together with a beautiful icon of a chainsaw! :-) A
reword to say that this is an area dedicted to forestry
/ logging & may or may not be covered by trees at
any time, may cover it?</div>

No. <br>
Not all tree harvesting is done by clear felling. Some are
selectively logged. <br>
<br>
Not all areas are 'man_made', some are 'natural' at least to my view
point. <br>

<div>From that perspective, maple trees for syrup

<div>I'll openly admit that I know nothing about how maple
trees are grown - are they in a clump / plantation or
spread out s individual trees through the woods?</div>

<br>
There are also rubber trees, sandalwood, tea trees etc.<br>
<br>
Most orchard trees are kept low for harvesting, that is what I
expect to find when I see one. I think maple and rubber trees are a
bit higher. <br>
