Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Vol. 2. 229 pages. When a bill creating the Big Thicket National Preserve was signed into law, it climaxed more than half a century of environmental debate, planning and destruction. The preserve opened new vistas for recreation. In this revised and updated version, Gunter not only describes the history and rich diversity of the region saved from the bulldozers of real estate developers and lumber companies, but also the dimensions of the new Big Thicket Preserve. He makes it possible to plan a trip there by including descriptions of each stream corridor unit, maps and canoeing conditions, hiking trails, and camping facilities. He lists representative flora and fauna. The book provides a backgroundboth historical and biologicalwhich will make clear just what the visitor to the Big Thicket is seeing; why it has mattered, and why it will continue to matter.
