Use to tag a meadow created and maintained in a forest (natural=wood) for wildlife.
The forest service in the United States uses this terminology for artificially created forest openings for wildlife.
How to map
Draw a way around the area of the opening, and tag man_made=wildlife_opening and landuse=meadow
Sometimes these will have a role of "inner" in a forest or wood multipolygon relation.
Tags in combination
These meadows would quickly revert to forest if let alone.
If the opening has a name, add name="name of meadow".
If the opening has access for handicapped, find the right tag for that.
