Science in the Big Thicket

Research Focus

The Big Thicket Association administers and coordinates the Thicket of Diversity in cooperation with the National Park Service (NPS) and cooperating affiliates. The ToD has been undertaken to enhance the ability of conservation managers by identifying every living species inhabiting the Big Thicket National Preserve and surrounding area.

The Science section gathers the working tools and public results of that effort: the Taxa Tally, new species records, checklists, researcher reports, project forms, and map resources.

Research Funding

Researchers interested in conducting work through the Thicket of Diversity should consult Information for Scientists – Documents and Forms for application procedures, proposal requirements, and related documentation.
