Bridgeland, a master-planned community from Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. in Cypress, hosted its 16th annual Nature Fest on April 27.

The event featured Coyote Peterson, host of Brave Wilderness, who headlined a lineup of educational stage shows centered on conserving the natural environment and its species. Nature Fest also included outdoor laser tag, inflatables, a kids’ craft area, face painting, nature exhibits, animal encounter photo opportunities and a petting zoo.

All proceeds from the event benefited Cy-Hope, a non-profit organization that benefits underserved children in the Cy-Fair area.

“Bridgeland’s vision from day one has been to innovatively blend nature with development, and Nature Fest is our annual way of celebrating that,” Steve Sams, senior vice president of MPC Residential for Howard Hughes, said in a press release. “Uniting residents and visitors alike to learn about the importance of conservation and preserving the natural environment from some of the world’s most sought-after experts is the type of educational experience we strive to create and promote through our sustainably-driven community.”
