Thanks for your input to help sort this out.

So after more reading, I guess protected_area will work for these. When I first looked at it protectedplanet.net was confusing me because it doesn't show national forests, but at least according to wikipedia National Forests qualify as Category VI.

The convention so far seems be be tagging things that would also qualify as national_park as:
boundary=national_park
boundary:type=protected_area

So I think this should be appropriate for national forests:
boundary=national_park
boundary:type=protected_area
protect_id=6
protection_title=National Forest
protected=perpetuity
operator=United States Forest Service
ownership=national

And at some point after protected_area starts getting rendered a bot can change the boundary tag.
