Hi

I was wondering if anyone has been mapping these?   Quite often I come across 
streams and rivers where there are dense lines of trees along the river banks.  
Occasional I find lines of trees which seem to be remnant hedgerows where the 
shrubs have been removed.

Looking on line it would seem that these are a hedgerow type.

This would perhaps suggest they should be marked as ways with barrier=hedge and 
hedge=line_of_trees or perhaps just the latter.

An alternative might be to use natural=tree_row which is defined in the wiki 
but the examples seem more to related to trees that have been planted at 
regular intervals and where there isn't generally an overlap in the canopy.  I 
have used this a few times but I'm not convinced it is the right way to tag 
this feature given that it seems they are a type of hedgerow.

This may be something for the tagging email group but these a quite common 
features in the UK so I thought it would be good to ask here first.

Many Thanks

Dudley
