Hi there, please refrain from edit warring over the tagging of forests. It is well established that landuse=forest is for managed forests, e.g., stands of trees that are planted in rows and looked after. USFS tree areas are natural woods that the government happens to own and maintain. As others have mentioned in your changesets, there are conversations around this on Slack or elsewhere.

Please do not change natural=wood tag to the landuse=forest tag without consulting the community first.

Thank you,
