Goodwin Forest
Removed this from the list of State Forests. All properties designated as "State Forests" are operated by the NC Division of Forest Resources (under the Department of Environment and Natural Resources). Goodwin is managed by the NCSU Forestry School.

Is there any reason to include the words "State Park" or "State Recreation Area" for each name? Most nav boxes omit these kind of repeated words for brevity (i.e. Townships in county nav boxes, or see {{
Protected Areas of Pennsylvania}})?

I don't know the reason. I think that the names should be shortened for the reasons cited by

Shortening the names sounds fine to me. I didn't really have much of a reason for placing the whole names when I created it.

Thanks very much - I was also wondering about making the top of the box read "North Carolina State Parks and Recreation Areas" to describe both kinds better?

Historic Sites
Do you guys think it would be good to add the Historic Sites to this infobox?
Historic Sites I was trying to think if I should add it to this one, or create it's own InfoBox for Historic Sites.

I have also been working on the Pennsylvania state parks and historic sites and there are two seperate templates.
I've been thinking about this issue for awhile, and I've come to the conclusion that some, but not all, of the State Historic Sites should be added to the infobox. My rational is as follows:
All of the State Historic Sites which I have visited are park-like and have grounds (some with ten's of undeveloped acres), except for those not a part of the State Nature and Historic Preserve. (Granted, I have not visited them all.)
Therefore, I'm going to
be bold and add all the State Historic Sites which are components of the State Nature and Historic Preserve. –
