Historical Perspectives of Naturalists Study Group If the first Monday is a holiday, the meeting will be moved to an alternate day. Mar 3: We will be discussing two books on the Big Thicket (read either or both). "The Big Thicket," by P.A.Y. Gunter and "Nature Lover's Guide to the Big Thicket" by Howard Peacock. These books are both available on Amazon.com for as low as $1.13 used up to $14.95 new. (My experience with the used books has been very good). Hopefully the discussion of these books will be helpful for those going on the Big Thicket field trip Mar 20, and the topic of this ecologically interesting area exciting enough to hold the interest of others as well.Apr 7 and May 5: "Karankaway Country," by Roy Bedechek.
