James Goodwin Forest James Goodwin Forest Goodwin Forest in 1968 Moore County, near Carthage is the site of the 1,169 acre Goodwin Forest. Donated in 1968 by James L. Goodwin after his death, the former depleted cotton fields and rundown woodlots were restored by Goodwin himself. A trained forester from Yale University, Goodwin planted open lands with pine seedlings and succeeded in reforesting the area.
Several creeks run through the property.
Hikers are welcome to use the area, as Goodwin wished. Goodwin Forest in 1931 when it was still in cotton. Photo is taken from same vantage point as above.
