Was mapping yesterday, put in an area, then when I started searching for
the description, iD brought up one of it's totally inappropriate
suggestions of clearcut:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag%3Aman_made%3Dclearcut, together
with a beautiful icon of a chainsaw! :-) A reword to say that this is an
area dedicted to forestry / logging & may or may not be covered by trees at
any time, may cover it?

Would / could they be covered under =orchard:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:landuse%3Dorchard

I'll openly admit that I know nothing about how maple trees are grown - are
they in a clump / plantation or spread out s individual trees through the
woods?

Thanks
