The nature_area tag could be combined with a proposed Tag:nature=*

The nature tag would describe the type of nature area (wilderness, wildlife, forest, grassland, etc.)


Nature areas would include larger parks that are administered as part of a park network.

These would be tagged using the proposed relation: Tag:type=park_network


Protected areas could be tagged using a proposed Tag:protected to indicate what kind of protections they have.

This is part of a larger project to simplify the process of tagging public lands User:Viper444/My Projects/Public, Protected, and Restricted Lands
