Some areas of forest are marked as ancient forest, which has not been disturbed significantly in recent times. Is there any way to tag that? I cannot see anything obvious. asked 30 Sep '14, 18:01  pmackay |

This is not ideal, but I'm tempted to use historic for that. These tags seem to have tried to tackle a similar issue. If this forest has an official "ancient" status, consider historic=heritage with the appropriate heritage=* value. answered 01 Oct '14, 10:01  Vincent de P... ♦ |
Did you consider using natural=wood? Compared to landuse=forest this tag is used for woodland with no forestry, i.e. without human intervention. Also see this question about the difference between landuse=forest and natural=wood. answered 30 Sep '14, 19:58  scai ♦ edited 30 Sep '14, 19:58 |
Hi pmackay, try to find the age of the forest ead use for instance, start_date=~C13 (ungefähr im 13. Jahrhundert) Read the Wiki about it, https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?search=start_date&title=Special%3ASearch answered 01 Oct '14, 00:03  Hendrikklaas 1 start_date is usefull, but it looks like pmackay is looking for some kind of "human_disturbance:end_date" tag (don't use that, it just rephrases the question... to which I don't have a good answer).

As I understand it, pmackay is looking for tags in addition to natural=wood to signify that the forest is "ancient".
