We clean up well! Work is ongoing to clean up legacy pollution at abandoned oil and gas sites in @bigthicketnps in Texas. Funding for the work comes from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which is helping Interior plug, reclaim and remediate orphaned oil and gas wells.

Trends come and go but tradition lives on: Green and gray uniforms. Flat hats. Tendencies to point at things. Ranger-led nature walks. Happy 108th Birthday, National Park Service! 🎂 #ParksThenAndNow #BigThicket

Park rangers recently rescued this abandoned truck stuck in a ditch. Many of #BigThicket's roads are unpaved and muddy for days after it rains. Even lifted 4WD trucks like this one can get stuck in the mud! We'll have icy roads this week, too. Drive safely!
