I am looking for a way to tag areas that used to be a forest but all/almost all trees were fallen by a strong wind.

Sometimes such are is relatively quickly cleaned up and new forest is planted but in some cases (for example in Tatra mountains) such windthrow areas are staying for a long time (years, maybe longer) so tagging this makes sense. I looked at https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org//search?q=windthrow and it seems that nobody tagged this kind of object. I found https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org//search?q=windfall but with really low usage I looked for windfall and windthrow in archives of tagging mailing list. I used natural=windthrow, but maybe there is an existing tag already used for that? Overpass query with all tagged areas (currently it is just 8 areas): http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/x2O _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
