Event Summary: Tour the Headwaters at the Comal, an ongoing multi-phase restoration project, with native savanna and riparian woodland areas.

Event Description: Come tour the Headwaters at the Comal, an ongoing multi-phase restoration project located around the uppermost springs feeding the Comal River. Enjoy a close look at the native savanna and riparian woodland areas, reclaimed from the large expanses of asphalt and sheet metal buildings remaining from a retired utility facility. To date, over 500 species have returned to the property following extensive restoration efforts. Plant species installed on the site were carefully selected to reflect the regional diversity found at the meeting of the Edwards Plateau and Blackland Prairie ecoregions. The continuing restoration will continue the transformation of the property and facilities into an innovative, nature-oriented community space.
