Geraldine Watson devoted her life to preserving the natural world, and was instrumental in saving a unique east Texas woodlands from development pressures.
Well, frankly, I never dreamed that we’d save any of the Big Thicket.

She spent lots of time in the 1960s and 1970s promoting Big Thicket—it’s diversity and the importance of its ecological preservation.
The loss of each plant, or each animal, takes me personally closer to extinction. Because we’re all part of the chain of life.
And the great thing is, people everywhere know who she is. She’s like a botany Guru.

We’re glad you drifted our way. Find out when and where this show airs at passporttotexas.org.
