I think that's the problem. In europe (and for that matter the whole of OSM) forest == trees. Every square foot of a landuse=forest area should be covered in trees. Here in the US, there is a thing called a US Nation Forest which is an administrative area, which has a lot of trees in it, but also scrub, grass, rivers, bare rock etc. The main issue is that we need to separate the administrative border from the land-cover, so that land-cover drawing is not prevented. Making boundary=protected_area render similarly to the outline of leisure=natural_park would be a good starting point, and that should be a simple mod to make.
