Native Prairie Restoration
In the Spring of 2024, we seeded part of the Clear Creek Natural Heritage Center Collins Prairie with Horned Lizard Habitat Seed Mix from Native American Seed and transplanted Native Milkweed from Painted Flower Farm. The area was part of a prescribed burn in February 2024, and species will be observed and recorded for restoration progress. In the Spring of 2025, we transplanted 150 native milkweeds in the area to continue restoration efforts.
This project was supported by a Native Plant Society of Texas - Trinity Forks Chapter Grant, and Free Milkweed for Habitat Restoration from Monarch Watch.
We continue to observe and participate in Prairie Restoration projects at Clear Creek Natural Heritage Center.
Stay tuned for ongoing projects & restoration efforts!
