Also - it may be useful for orientation and during hiking trip one may
prefer to route going through existing forest rather area where forest
was destroyed.

Many of areas that may be tagged this way are not managed for
forestry but in protected areas.

Areas managed for forestry are typically cleaned-up and replanted
relatively quickly.

Note that typical usage and interpretation of landuse=forest is 
"area covered by trees" not "area managed for forestry" (though I
know that there are competing approaches - see
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Forest ).
