Life of all types abounds in the Big Thicket. This national preserve protects the incredible diversity of life found where multiple habitats converge in southeast Texas. Hiking trails and waterways meander through nine different ecosystems, from longleaf pine forests to cypress-lined bayous. It is a place of discovery, a place to wander and explore, a place to marvel at the richness of nature.That’s just a small part of the adventure and beauty you’ll find here!

Producer’s Favorites: Epitaph
Video producer Ron Kabele worked on the Texas Parks & Wildlife television show for 23 years. As part of the show’s thirtieth anniversary, Ron introduces us to an inspiring character, Geraldine Watson. As a plant ecologist and Ranger for the National Park Service, Geraldine played a pivotal role in the creation of Big Thicket National Preserve. She was feisty and combative, passionate and self-sacrificing. Even after she retired, Geraldine spent her time and energy restoring a remnant of the beautiful virgin forests of her childhood.
