<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I removed the tree tagging from the National Park boundary.</p>
<p>This had caused people to exclude water areas from the Park -
which is not true. <br>
</p>
<p>IIRC Graham objected to the now blank landcover. <br>
</p>
<p>I did go back and created landcovers for the general area. This
was quite some time ago! <br>
</p>
<p>If the tree cover has grown then map it! I have no objection. You
may find different imagery is more current then other imagery - be
selective. <br>
</p>
<p>I think someone else did ask if they could change some of it...
while I do take some notice of changes to some of "my" data ... it
really is OSM's data and not "mine" so I am not that possessive of
it. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>So bottom line for changes to the map - do it. As long as it is
not destructive all is good.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Regarding landcover=trees and similarly landcover=grass... my and
others alternative to the natural=wood/landuse=forest and
landuse=grass debacles. <br>
</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Further to Andrew Parkers question about
forested areas.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am also a casual user for uploading data
and I also create my own maps from the data.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My interest is in 4wd tracks.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Grampians has had the ‘landcover –
tree’ ‘areas’ changed which in my opinion is now not correct.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">See<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The Grampians is a National park and is
covered in trees.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are a number of rocks and rocky
outcrops (lots actually) and a few lakes and roads plus some
swamp and rock quarries, but generally speaking it is
completely covered in trees, everywhere, including the rocky
outcrops.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I suspect that some well meaning person has
mapped what they could see via a satellite image after a fire
went though.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Question, How can I identify this person so
that I can contact them to be able to find out what they are
thinking?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Traditionally, the whole area is mapped as
tree cover and then other features are added on top, such as
the lakes and roads.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also towards the SA border there are other
treed areas that have been very carefully traced out. Yet
traditionally the whole area is set with the fence lines and
tracks then marked on top.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Not necessarily wrong, but tracing the
exact line of where the trees finish and the road side has
been cleared, is not really helpful. Or is it?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks<o:p></o:p></p>
