The Big Thicket Association recently published another brief update regarding the six-term Congressman Kevin Brady<\/a> (R – 8th District of Texas) and his efforts at enhancing the 100,000-acre Big Thicket National Preserve. According to the piece, the congressman has filed HR 5891 with three primary goals: connect, expand and preserve the Big Thicket. <\/p>\n

Last month, the TBRC published a news item<\/a> about the congressman’s efforts with a link to the Big Thicket Association’s website. <\/p>\n

Apparently, Congressman Brady is not only interested in protecting the special area, but is seeking ways to spur “family-friendly eco-tourism,” which would bring in perhaps a million visitors a year as well as increase interest in the area and its surrounding communities. <\/p>\n

Congressman Brady recently presented the Big Thicket National Preserve with a check for $1.25 million for land acquisition and has asked Congress to increase that amount by another $4.75 million. <\/p>\n

The TBRC applauds the honorable congressman’s efforts.<\/p>\n
