Arriving at Brazos Bend

We are all nestled in to our home for 3 months. We have our uniforms, assignments, and have started training already. We are really going to love this place! What I’m especially excited about? Holding the baby alligators and showing them to visitors!!

Brazos Bend is one of top visited state parks in Texas, with 5000+ acres, a variety of ecosystems, 37 miles of trails, 13 miles of horse trails, Nature center, ranger programs, with 73 modern campsites and 13 primitive tenting sites. They are home to many varieties of birds, 25 varieties of mammals, and 21 species of reptiles. The most common to this park is the American Alligator (which I might add are less aggressive than the crocodile).

We are volunteering as park hosts during our stay here, and will also help the rangers with a variety of tasks as needed. We are very excited about this opportunity, and very thankful that Rob & Helen told us about the TX state park volunteer program.
