If your institution has an Institutional Membership, signing up as a "Contact" will affiliate you with your institution, and you'll be able to register for the online event, and make use of the NCHC community forums. If you sign up for any membership aside from "Contact," you will be asked to pay for that membership fee.

You'll receive an email notification, and THEN you may start registration for the intended online event.

With the cancellation of projects for 2020 and 2021, the NCHC Partners in the Parks Committee wants to ensure that we create alternatives to projects to continue to foster these meaningful collaborations with NPS to benefit students from NCHC member institutions. From undergraduate student to institutional administration, all with an interest in adventure are welcome to join for these monthly meetings.

This particular meeting will explore the Big Thicket National Preserve through presentation and video. Life of all types abounds in the Big Thicket. This national preserve protects the incredible diversity of life found where multiple habitats converge in southeast Texas. Hiking trails and waterways meander through nine different ecosystems, from longleaf pine forests to cypress-lined bayous. It is a place of discovery, a place to wander and explore, a place to marvel at the richness of nature.
