Hi,
The tag “landuse=clearing” was extensively used in Costa Rica by
#hotosm-task-417 #YouthMappers #TexasTech during November 2017, mapping
around Parque Nacional Coicovado in Costa Rica.
Unfortunately this tag is not documented on the OSM wiki, I have started
to document what I think it is and looks like from some satellite imagery.
The proposal page to document the possible tag can be found here
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Landcover%3Dclearing.
There are several suggestions as to how to map these things better- with
more information and some should result with rendering on maps.
However, my questions are;
Do HOT use the tag at all for there own purposes?
Will there be any problems and/or objections to changing
‘landuse=clearing’ to “landcover=clearing” ?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts on the subject.
PS I note that many of these ways introduced have touching rings and
duplicate segments. I have edited many of them so they now don’t
generate errors on OSMinspector see

I have not touched the north eastern coastal area so you can see the
problems.
PPS I am motivated to keep land cover things out of the land use key,
hence my personal interest in this tag.
