Russ,
I think you have come closest to a good
general description of something with multiple
uses. Yes, above all, U.S. national forests are protected.
So, does that mean that tagging is
boundary=protected_area and landuse=conservation,
along with, of course, tagging of individual
features/uses, such as campground, fishing, archaeological site, etc.?

Hi Greg and all,
Sorry, I either need a refund on that Forestry
degree or have to call this out as incorrect:
Perhaps the problem here is the multiple roles
that the the US Forest Service plays. Note that
that name is from the olden days. Now the
service is know as the National Park Service.
The National Park Service and National Forest
Service are too very different things (i.e.
branches of government, US Department of
Interior versus Department of Agriculture respectively).
I think we need to return to that "basic
question" what is the main "service"/function
of these services Protection! The only reason
we have National Forests, Parks, etc. is to
protect them, not use although yes, usage is
allowed under the various rules/regulations of the particular unit.
