Selected

parque estatal, bosque estatal

Creo que en definitiva se refieren al mismo lugar, pero uno enfatiza que sea un parque y el otro al área, refiriéndose al tipo de zona: bosque, selva, etc.

Buenos dias Marina, gracias - teju
agree Marina56 : Si, Teju estoy de acuerdo contigo. Por ejemplo en Argentina Tenemos parques nacionales que son una larga estención de tierra, bosques y lagos y las cataratas del iguazú están en el parque nacional Iguazú. Mientras que la Foresta Amazónica es Nacional

Blackwater River State Park History

Blackwater River State Park was established in 1967. The park opened to the public on November 22, 1968 and consisted of 360 acres. On July 17, 1981, the park acquired 230 acres from the Division of Forestry. Today, the park contains 590 acres of upland pine forests, swamps, and scrubby ridges and is surrounded by the Blackwater River State Forest. Atlantic white cedars line the river and the 1982 Florida Champion, recognized as the largest of its species, is found within the park. The park was also certified as an official Registered State Natural Feature in 1980 for possessing “exceptional value in illustrating the natural history of Florida”.

neutral Jane Lamb-Ruiz (X) : That is not always the case...people name things what they like: see Adirondack Park in NY state

Of course, but it clearly is the case for this park and forest: the park "is surrounded by" the forest.

floresta y parque

bueno..una floresta es maior, es mal "natural" y grande

un parque es normalmente menor..tambien puede ser grande..depende del gusto de la gente que los dieron un nombre..

Por ejemplo, en el estado de Nueva York..existe la maior floresta natural de Estados Unidos dentro de...un parque..Adirondack State Park...

floresta y parque es la misma cosa que en español

Yo no diria Bosque

Final: Floresta del Estado...no estatal..que hace pensar el
estado=nación, en mi opinión
Peer comment(s):

agree JaneTranslates : Partial agreement: As you say, it should be Parque/Bosque *del Estado,* not "estatal." But I *never* hear "floresta." Always "bosque." Regional variation, I suppose...

v.s

State park is a term used in the United States and in Mexico for an area of land preserved on account of its natural beauty, historic interest, or other reason, and under the administration of the government of a U.S. state or one of the states of Mexico.
State forest is a term with differing meanings in different countries.

In Australia, it refers to forest that is protected by state laws, rather than by the federal government.
In New Zealand, it is forest that is controlled by a central government agency.
In the United Kingdom, it refers to any forest (usually plantations) owned and managed by the Forestry Commission.
In the United States, it refers to a forest owned by one of the states.
