I still want different tree symbols...
Considering your symbol style, the one thing that jumped out at me was the lackluster answard bridge. A beautiful map, with that one tiny nitpick, LOL. Love the style and colors.

@Veldehar: Agreed, the bridge is pretty bad. I'll have to think of something better.
@jfrazierjr: Mind if I ask what specfically you dislike about the tree symbols? "Different" as a critique doesn't narrow down the options very much. Bright pink Dr. Seuss-style trees, after all, would qualify as different.
true dat. I think for me, the number of radically different style symbols is the issue. If it were say hardwood and a few Conifer trees mixed, even if there were multiples it would be ok if they were each in the same style family(ie, hardwood trees would look generally the same even if you had 10+ shapes... ie a consistent line style, shading style, etc). Don't have time to screenshot and point out the specifics right now though, so I hope you understand what I am talking about.

No, I get what you're saying. I thought with lots of varieties I would avoid having the forests look too repetitive. But I'll try a version with just a few varieties (but different sizes/shades) as you suggest, and see which one looks better.
