Hello. How do I map a willow plantation? The question is neighboring this one, but the main difference is that willows only grows a few meters high, up to ten or so (like this) before being cut for basketwork, and the whole land is clearcut regularly, making its appearance strongly vary in a matter of years, so the regular, heterogeneous appearance of Awaiting your answers, Regards. |

Hi Penegal, take a look here, practical a large plantation of willows or osier, http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=12/51.7655/4.7609 Those osier fields are also used to make mattresses to cover the river bottom before adding stones to build dikes and embankments. Consider natural=wetland with landuse=farmland / forest, crop=osier, like Andy said. And no it’s not in OSM Wiki. But Wikipedia has some words for that kind of fields as willow scrub. I tend to natural=scrub, but scrub or wetland dont match with natural together. |

Hello,
I hope that helps. 3
Don't use natural=wood and landuse=forest on the same element. They mean two different things. A willow plantation is definitely landuse=forest. Also in my opinion managed=yes is already implicitly contained in the definition of landuse=forest.

Unfortunately, wood and forest mapping in OpenStreetMap is confused (essentially, different users use the same tag to mean different things). See http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Forest for details.
