Oh blimey, so when on walks should I assume it's naturally occurring unless 
it's being used for lumber, in which case it becomes a landuse=wood? Because 
of course almost no woodland in the UK is unmanaged and unused, though that's 
the distinction given on the map features wiki page. I don't know how you'd 
ever find out if it was in fact unmanaged either, other than asking the 
Forestry Commission and the landowner.

Regards,
Tom
