<x-tab>        </x-tab>I see your
point that it's not a "natural" forest, but national <br>
forests are important institutions as preserves, especially, in addition
<br>
to their other uses (recreation, research).<br>
<x-tab>        </x-tab>Having
just returned from a camping vacation in the Southwest, <br>
I am especially aware that the national forests, as an institution,
play<br>
an important role there. On most map systems, they are noted by their
<br>
green color, and that is what most map users expect to see. They use<br>
the color to plan where to camp and where they can conduct certain<br>
activities (hunting, fishing). <br>
<x-tab>        </x-tab>Shouldn't
their special status be noted somehow?<br><br>

<dd>I agree with Martijn and Paul. To not repeat some of the arguments I
want to point out that there was a similar discussion on the mailing list
two years ago:<br><br>

<a href="https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-us/2013-May/010759.html">

<dd>I think there was no agreement reached back then so we just kept the
status quo.<br><br>
