Wooden pavement instead of asphalt or bricks

Is it possible to add a tag for wooden pedestrian ways, as they are found in wetlands (walking routes through fi Yellowstone park) and city parks? And how to tag a way covered with wooden chips used like gravel?

Hi SomeoneEls, No its just looks like it. Woodchips are nt likely to form a solid plank bridge ! Ill have a look if you try. But ill look at gnurks hint for the surface and thanks very friendly for your reaction.

4	There is at least a surface=wood tag described in https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Surface answered 29 May '12, 00:56 gnurk 6.1k●10●60●96 accept rate: 15%

2	(re the wooden chips) Taginfo shows a list of values used for surface here. It's not used much, but perhaps "surface=woodchips"? answered 29 May '12, 12:33 SomeoneElse ♦ 36.9k●71●370●866 accept rate: 16%
