Work at Big Thicket

It takes a team of people with many different skillsets to operate a national preserve! Some employees have an outdoor "office" while others work primarily in a traditional office setting. Some employees work directly with the public while others work behind-the-scenes to keep the park running smoothly. All employees have one thing in common, though, no matter their role—a passion for parks!
