• The PETAL Prairie Restoration at Clear Creek Natural Heritage Center, presented by Rachel Weaver, Founder and Director of The PETAL Project, demonstrates her partnership with the City of Denton, TX and the Elm Fork Master Naturalists, to add native plants of ecological importance into an area of restored prairie in order to provide creative and educational opportunities that cultivate purposeful community environmental literacy.
