<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Hi Everybody,<br>
<br>
I've been importing CanVec mostly south of <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Kamloops</st1:place></st1:City> for the past several weeks and am going
to take some time now to go back and bring stuff up to date. One question
I have though is in regards to how to treat cut blocks in the wooded areas.<br>
<br>
I see according to the map features wiki, that the CanVec imported tag of
natural=wood is technically not correct, at least for here, as wood is to be
reserved only for completely reserved/unmanaged areas. I guess most of
what I have should really be mapped as landuse=forest but I have not made the
change because what is under timber lease and what is not would be difficult to
determine. In one sense it's all managed to some degree or other.
But my point is rather what should be done with the cut blocks, which in some
areas constitute up to 50% or more of the forested area. <a
href="http://osm.org/go/WJ1cj_R">http://osm.org/go/WJ1cj_R</a> is a typical
area. It seems improper to keep them as wooded when they are clearly not,
and yet most are replanted and will be wooded again someday... or at least
that's what they keep telling us.<br>
<br>
I started mapping them as it truly gives a more accurate representation of the
current state of affairs on the ground... but thought I'd better get some
guidance before proceeding too far. <br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Sam L.<br>
