Forest polygons are generally understood to not be very precise. And the treeline changes over time anyway. Do don't bother to make those align. I do like to see edges of water and lakes matching up with the park poloygons, otherwise you end up with lots of strange color bands on rendered maps th

Thanks Paul, I'll see if that's an option, especially as it's not a named forest. Now I've also got this situation where the much larger but very low fidelity forest poly is conflicting with my new high-fidelity poly for the actual Murramarang National Park https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/-

Hi all, I've been doing a bit of coastal mapping and keep butting into this unclosed poly that's annoying me ... so I'd like to have a go at fixing it up, unless JOSM is just rendering it wrong because it's a multipart poly and I'm not downloading all the data it needs to close it? I'd appreciate
