That's what I did when I reimported the Adirondack and Catskill data. There
wasn't a clear consensus that the tagging was 'right' - but nobody really
complained after the job was done.

The tagging that I used is described in
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/NYS_DEC_Lands
In the Catskills, there was a second category of public land:

I believe that it will be important, if anyone does get around to using the
protected_area tagging, that protect_class and protection_object be
something reasonable; that's something that's likely to affect the
rendering. I'm not all that familiar with GMNF, so I don't know if there
are a range of protection classes in it the way there are in the New York
forests.
