About this title

Synopsis

The Big Thicket, a challenge for conservation 1971 Dr. Pete Gunter The Big Thicket, a unique and beautiful wilderness covering some 350,000 acres of southeastern Texas, has become the center of a major national conservation debate. The issue is not a simple "Should the Thicket be preserved?" Rather, it poses numerous questions common to all wild areas threatened by man's encroachment: questions such as "How many acres are necessary for 'preservation'?", "Under whose management should this land be maintained?" and "For whose benefit and for what human useage?"
