A forestry office is an office that administers large areas of forest. They provide maintenance (to prevent forest fires for example), monitor the health of trees, log or replant if necessary. Most of them don't receive visitors (see amenity=ranger_station instead).

How to map

Set a node node at the center of the feature or draw an area area along its outline. Tag it with office=forestry. Add useful combinations, like office name, address...
