[Talk-us-massachusetts] Fwd: landuse=conservation

[Jim Snyder-Grant]

There's an example in Acton: land owned by Concord near Nagog pond.
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/311895579
It has no 'leisure' tag (it's off limits to most humans). It can be
selected and edited, but it doesn't show up in the default OSM view.  It
does show up in other renderers, for example, http://hikebikemap.org shows
it, and the 'outdoor' style of mapbox.  And it DOES have
landuse=conservation, so having that doesn't guarantee that it will show up
any more in OSM.

The acton arboretum has leisure=park and the other conservation lands in
Acton have leisure=nature_reserve
