Map what you can verify:<br>
* Often these are expanses of grass with the occasional bush -> landuse=grass<br></blockquote><div><br>Not to be a pain, but that doesn't exist (or isn't documented). landuse=meadow I guess. That would actually satisfy a lot of my needs.<br>

* They can be expanses of shrubland -> natural=shrub<br></blockquote><div><br>natural=scrub? <br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Of course if you know it is greenfield/farmland there are landuse tags for<br>
that.<br></blockquote><div><br>Yeah. I guess the term "greenfield" is more common in the US? It seems a bit hard to verify that building is "scheduled". Does a big "sold" sign count? <br></div>

<br></blockquote><div><br>Yeah, I think you're right. Still just coming to terms with the different tagging options (and the whole unregulated folksonomy concept...)<br><br>I think I might write up some cross-cutting wiki pages like "vegetation", pointing people in the right directions for the subtle distinctions between natural= and landuse= etc.<br>
