It'd be like trying to tag plots in landuse=forest as felled or mature. While it'd be interesting it would quickly become unreliable and reduce the quality of data. So while I would love to have burnt areas mapped in OSM I just think it's not worth trying. Nathanael Coyne On Tue, 28 Jan 2020 at

I’d personally avoid tagging areas as burnt - they’re temporary and as per advice from Andrew maybe should be left tagged as their long term state. Looking around where I am (Benambra and north) there are already a lot of overlapping/duplicated/whats this for polygons relating to land cover… it’d

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:landuse=brownfield is absolutely not correct, have you reverted? Which changesets? They are still wood even if burnt so natural=wood should apply. I have thought about if we should map burnt areas, it's tricky because while it is surveyable, it changes quic

Hi, A German mapper in Carbargo has used landuse=brownfield to map burnt areas. One such area is a recreation ground... so it would be burnt grass. Is it a good idea to map such things? It could be said this is 'temporary' so not something OSM should map. If so, how should it be tagged? I
