What's the difference between "Relation: Red Forest (7281213)" and "Way: Red forest trees (278750261)"?

To put it another way, why is the latter considered separate from the former?

Do the bridge, abandoned railroad, and rail trail all follow the exact path / physically overlap? If so, all three ways should be connected, instead of being depicted as separate but parallel.

According to the above map, the Lake of the Woods Golf Course and Stidham Woods are part of the Lake of the Woods Forest Preserve. Also within its boundaries is a strip of land between the main body of the Preserve and Stidham Woods.

I request that someone with more OSM editing experience (than me) add those areas to the Forest Preserve's relation.

Lake of the Woods Forest Preserve technically includes the golf course

What is this?

There is a significant discrepancy here regarding the position of the trail as currently drawn on OSM vs. the National Forest System Trails dataset (https://catalog.data.gov/dataset/national-forest-system-trails-feature-layer-f51e8).

The trails need to be updated: [New trail established at Lake of the Woods Forest Preserve | WCIA.com](https://www.wcia.com/news/new-trail-established-at-lake-of-the-woods-forest-preserve/)

There seems to be a clearing here. I'm not sure how to depict that on the map.

Note for other mappers: having hiked the area (specifically the southern part of the Group 63 Trail, and the Group 63 Spur Trail) recently, I noticed that the forest service appears to have recently cleared it of some/most trees and shrubs, so it would be a good idea to wait a while before adding vegetation areas to the map.

Once newer satellite imagery is available (or someone adds GPS tracks), the Dark Sky Trail needs to be connected to the parking lot; the observatory and shelter also need to be added.
