SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
document describes four management
alternatives for Big Thicket National
Preserve, including a no-action
alternative and the National Park
Service preferred alternative. The
anticipated environmental impacts of
those alternatives are also analyzed.
Alternative 1, the no-action alternative,
would extend existing conditions and
management trends into the future. This
alternative serves as a basis of
comparison for evaluating the action
alternatives. Alternative 2, the NPS
preferred alternative, would support a
broad ecosystem approach for preserve
management using partnerships and
collaboration. This alternative
recognizes the challenges associated
with management of cross-boundary
resource issues and the importance of

encouraging partnerships to address and
resolve resource issues. The National
Park Service would proactively engage
in regional planning and policy efforts
for the benefit of resource protection,
compatible visitor use, and other issues
both within and outside the preserve
boundaries. Initiatives that advance the
long-term protection of the preserve’s
natural resources would receive the
primary focus of management attention
and funding. Appropriate visitor uses
and experiences would also be
improved and expanded. Preserve staff
would expand and encourage new
partnership agreements with outside
public and private organizations.
Alternative 3 would emphasize natural
resource preservation and research
while providing self-reliant recreational
opportunities. Alternative 4 would seek
to increase the importance of the
preserve and the National Park Service
to the people in the communities of
southeast Texas and to visitors from all
over the world. If you wish to comment,
