Good mapping practice is to keep administrative boundaries such as state parks, conservation areas, suburbs etc separate from natural features such as water, waterways, woods etc. While they sometimes approximate, they rarely coincide exactly. <br>
<br>
Tagging a state park as natural=wood is usually inappropriate because there will, nearly always, be parts of the park that are unwooded. Best to map the park with its official boundary and then map the natural features separately using other unofficial sources such as survey and satellite imagery.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Agreed, though as a rough first pass it has been common to tag natural=wood on the administrative boundary if it's 90% correct, but eventually as the mapping becomes more detailed separate natural=wood is the way to go. </div></div></div>
