2014 SP CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT: Savor the holiday season 
with collectible Texas State Park Ornaments ... ahead on 
Passport to Texas.

This is Passport to Texas

In 2002, Texas Parks and Wildlife released its first State 
Park holiday ornament. 

06 -- Our original ornaments were done in metal; the last three 
years have been laser engraved wood.

Thomas Wilhelm is with state parks. When the ornaments 
were gold-plated metal, the agency released one per year 
that featured several iconic images. Since 2012, they've 
released three ornaments annually; each spotlights only 
one park. And this year:

20 -- We're looking at the state bison herd at Caprock Canyons, 
Big Bend Ranch, and Independence Hall at Washington-on-the-
Brazos. So, you'll see an iconic image of each park that is 
featured. The front will have the image very clear, cut out - it 
also has the date - and then on the reverse side you'll find a 
short interpretive message about what's featured.

 

The collectible wooden ornaments have a rustic, nostalgic 
feel to them, and are available now. 

21 -- The best way to get it is to call into our customer service 
center and just mention that you want to purchase the 
ornament. They're sold individually, or by the set. We also have 
previous years ornaments for sale. I think they make a beautiful 
collection, and you're supporting state parks while showing 
your love for the outdoors and Texas' natural places.
