The Big Thicket is the name given to a somewhat imprecise region of a heavily-forested area of Southeast Texas in the United States. This area represents a portion of the mixed pine-hardwood forests of southeast US. The National Park Service established the Big Thicket National Preserve (BTNP) within the region in 1974 and it is recognized as a biosphere reserve by UNESCO. Although the diversity of animals in the area is high, with over 500 vertebrates, it is the complex mosaic of ecosystems and plant diversity that is particularly remarkable. Biologists have identified at least eight, and up to eleven, ecosystems in the Big Thicket area. More than 160 species of trees and shrubs, 800 herbs and vines, and 340 types of grasses are known to occur in the Big Thicket, and estimates as high as

Não existem limites exatos para esta área, ocupando grande parte dos condados de Hardin, Liberty, Tyler, San Jacinto e Polk, e é mais ou menos limitada pelo , rio Neches, e o rio Pine Island Bayou. O Big Thicket National Preserve foi criado em 1974 em uma tentativa de proteger as muitas espécies de plantas e animais que ali vivem. (pt)
