Big Thicket National Preserve



Do you have a child that loves being outdoors and exploring God’s creation? If so, I highly recommend a field trip to the Big Thicket National Preserve in Kountze, Texas.

At the visitor center, you can look through exhibits to see examples of the plants and animals that call Big Thicket their home. There is a video to watch that details and explains the early settlers’ way of life. There are miles of trails to explore that lead you through towering trees, cypress sloughs, and bogs of carnivorous plants.

During a recent visit, my 11-year-old completed the requirements of the Junior Ranger Program. Junior rangers explore, learn about and protect national parks around the country. Any person of any age can become a Junior Ranger and earn a badge!
