This sort of micro-woodland feature is a case where it would be nice
if Mapnik supported the proposed landcover key.  I found a whole
forest growing in the central reservation of a short section of dual
carriageway, but had to leave it that way as it no longer rendered
when converted to landcover (in most areas, people wouldn't have
bothered to try to make it render, but  since someone had done so,
they would reasonably object if it stopped rendering.
