Hi 19timber96,
Thanks for your efforts in mapping forests, I appreciate it. However, there's been at least 7 people that are not quite OK with the style how you draw and handle these polygons. We've discussed it on OSM US Slack and are leaning more towards reverting those edits. 
I don't want to discourage you from further editing in OSM, so I think a good start for you is to look around and see how other landcover areas are mapped. Talk to people and ask them for feedback and read wiki to get a better sense of what is expected.
Cheers,
Mashin
