Nearly 4,000 acres of essential bottomland hardwood forest, bayous, and cypress ponds in eastern Texas are permanently protected thanks to an alliance of the Fund, Louisiana Pacific Corporation, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. With financial assistance from the Migratory Bird Conservation Commission and the Houston Endowment, these lands are now part of the Trinity River National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge provides significant breeding, wintering, and stopover habitat for a wide variety of migratory birds.
Dubbed the "biological crossroads of North America," Big Thicket attracts hikers, campers and outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy its lush forests, cypress swamps, creeks and bayous. We now have the opportunity to protect the forests of Big Thicket and celebrate the cultural and historic treasures of the Texas Pineywoods region.
