If you would like to participate in the Sheldon Lake Prairie and/or Wetland Restoration Project, please contact John Egan. The Sheldon Prairie and Wetland Restoration Team was recognized with the 2015 TPWD with the 'Stars in the Park' Award! | Once a magnificent prairie covered what is now Hermann Park. It was alive with butterflies, colorful migratory birds, and other amazing creatures.
