This grant is for the purpose of developing a comprehensive Longleaf Pine Restoration Plan for the Big Thicket National Preserve. The project aims to outline desired conditions for longleaf pine communities, providing a detailed strategy for achieving them through restoration actions, long-term management, and continued monitoring. The resulting document will also detail the history and ecology of longleaf pine in the Big Thicket region. This collaborative effort involves faculty and graduate students from Sam Houston State University’s Department of Biology, DESCO Environmental Services Co., and is coordinated through the Sam Houston State Natural History Collections. The overall goal is to restore historic conditions within longleaf pine communities and create a guiding document for their sustained management on the preserve.

| Description: | This project will outline desired conditions for longleaf pine-dominated communities within the Big Thicket National Preserve and provide a detailed strategy for achieving desired conditions through restoration actions, long-term management, and continued monitoring. The final document (Restoration Plan) will also detail the history and ecology of longleaf pine and longleaf pine-dominated communities in the Big Thicket region. The project will be conducted as a partnership between Sam Houston State University faculty in the Department of Biology, SHSU graduate students and DESCO Environmental Services Co. coordinated through the curatorial staff of the Sam Houston State Natural History Collections. The overall goal of the project is to develop a strategy to restore historic conditions in longleaf pine communities at the Big Thicket National Preserve and create a guiding document that will provide direction for long-term management of longleaf pine communities on the preserve. |
