Sanctuary
 The Heard's sanctuary is different every day of the year. As you walk the nature trails you encounter numerous sights, sounds, colors, textures and patterns. You may also encounter many species of birds, insects and animals that have found refuge in the sanctuary, an oasis within the rapidly developing Collin County area.
The mission of the Heard Wildlife Sanctuary is threefold:
- provide the best possible habitat for native and endemic wildlife species;
- train future land stewards and naturalists through habitat restoration and wildlife management; and
- preserve functional examples of pre-settlement Collin County ecosystems. Inpart, the sanctuary exists to restore human connection to the land.
These are categories within the Sanctuary section:
