Project Blazingstar is a multiyear joint effort of the Hermann Park Conservancy (HPC), Coastal Prairie Partnership (CPP), and Texas Master Naturalists to restore three small but highly visible areas in Hermann Park back to native prairie to preserve the natural ecosystem of this area and to create better habitat for birds, butterflies, rabbits, and other park wildlife.
