<div dir="ltr">Looping back to this. I was looking at the town of Breckenridge, Colorado, and the whole things is covered by trees. On some renders, it is just a big green blob over the town. Here it is: <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/3724941">https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/3724941</a><div><br></div><div>This is not right. "landuse" implies that the *land* has a *use*, which is whatever follows the = sign. I am fine if we want to say that landuse = timber production (or whatever) in general, but to render the tag landuse=forest with little trees or a bold green color does not give the right impression to the viewer. I think we should be encouraging users to trace the forests more precisely, rather than with big blocks.<div><br></div><div>Also I've noticed these Colorado imports are not being done by a user with an _import account, so it makes me wonder if these folks importing forest cover are following the import rules. These forests also have a national park tag, which they are not.</div><div><br></div><div>Some examples attached. Note the forest covered parking lots and lakes.</div><div><br></div><div><img src="cid:1549676c6822fcce4533" alt="2016-05-09 12_59_30-OpenStreetMap _ Relation_ White River National Forest (3724941).png" class="" style="max-width: 100%; opacity: 1;">What is the current consensus? Maybe we should all get behind this proposal, and start changing landuses to landcovers where appropriate? <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/landcover">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/landcover</a> </div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Tue, Aug 25, 2015 at 6:39 PM stevea <<a href="mailto:steveaOSM@softworkers.com">steveaOSM@softworkers.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">In my previous post, the redacted sentence "Ditto administrative<br>
