Hi,
I removed the tree tagging from the National Park boundary.
This had caused people to exclude water areas from the Park - which is
not true.
IIRC Graham objected to the now blank landcover.
I did go back and created landcovers for the general area. This was
quite some time ago!
If the tree cover has grown then map it! I have no objection. You may
find different imagery is more current then other imagery - be selective.
I think someone else did ask if they could change some of it... while I
do take some notice of changes to some of "my" data ... it really is
OSM's data and not "mine" so I am not that possessive of it.
So bottom line for changes to the map - do it. As long as it is not
destructive all is good.
Regarding landcover=trees and similarly landcover=grass... my and others
alternative to the natural=wood/landuse=forest and landuse=grass debacles.

Hi,
Further to Andrew Parkers question about forested areas.
I am also a casual user for uploading data and I also create my own
maps from the data.
My interest is in 4wd tracks.
The Grampians has had the ‘landcover – tree’ ‘areas’ changed which in
my opinion is now not correct.
See

The Grampians is a National park and is covered in trees.
There are a number of rocks and rocky outcrops (lots actually) and a
few lakes and roads plus some swamp and rock quarries, but generally
speaking it is completely covered in trees, everywhere, including the
rocky outcrops.
I suspect that some well meaning person has mapped what they could see
via a satellite image after a fire went though.
Question, How can I identify this person so that I can contact them to
be able to find out what they are thinking?
Traditionally, the whole area is mapped as tree cover and then other
features are added on top, such as the lakes and roads.
Also towards the SA border there are other treed areas that have been
very carefully traced out. Yet traditionally the whole area is set
with the fence lines and tracks then marked on top.
Not necessarily wrong, but tracing the exact line of where the trees
finish and the road side has been cleared, is not really helpful. Or
is it?
Thanks
