As Andrew pointed out explicit permission is required to
import/trace etc, data you do not own. It's part of the contributor
terms of osm.<br>

This basically says "if you don't own the data then you have
permission to use it".<br>
<br>
Otherwise as below:<br>

<div>I just wanted to double check before I do this as people

Probably not as you don't have explicit permission.<br>

natural=wood that follows the aerial tree extent (which
doesn't exactly match the boundary)? Leave them both there? Do
I need natural=wood on the state forest boundary area to, to
make it display green? What about the conflict there?</div>

Yes but it's going to depend on the actual boundary. It may be that
there is a firebreak and someone has traced the wood outline but the
boundary is actually about 5metres away. Maybe have a look at doing
one area and post a link to get feedback from others.<br>

Don't join boundaries to things that are not boundaries.<br>
