No. landuse=forest is for managed areas .. not for a general tree area.
use natural=wood (for the render).

I place additional tags with these land cover features

landuse=grass gets landcover=grass
natural=wood gets landcover=trees
natural=sand gets landcover=sand
and so on.

No.
If you don't want to use a tag that say what the area is used for but 
use a tag that says what is there ..
well landcover=gravel will do that. It will not render, but as a mapper 
you have indicated what is there. Over 400 uses of that in the data base.
