Description:
The Big Thicket National Preserve is a unit of the National Park Service established to protect and preserve biodiversity on 97,000 acres in seven counties of Texas.
Big Thicket offers some of the richest diversity of plant life in North America. Natural processes have influenced the region over the millennium. The last Ice Age “pushed” plants from other parts of the country into a close “neighborhood.” Today, plants from the Gulf Coastal Plains, Eastern Forests, and Central Plains share space with species indicative of swamps and bayous. |
