A problem comes from the name "natural" that to most people (including mappers) carries a meaning that excludes some meanings accepted in the OSMwiki definition.<br>
For this reason it would be better to use a tag that carries no distorted meaning, say landcover=trees for instance.<br></blockquote></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I can definitely agree with this. landcover=trees carries no weird meanings unlike natural=wood (natural? man-made?). I can accept using landuse=forest for land that is used for forestry-related uses (like production of timber or a national forest), but for everything that is covered by a dense group of trees, landcover=trees seems the way to go.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div></div>
