On Tuesday, May 18, 2010 the City of McKinney passed a resolution in support of utilizing accepted wildlife mitigation practices by the NTMWD on the Heard sanctuary property to preserve the character of the wildlife sanctuary, the species and the environment in conjunction with its construction of a sewer line in the Heard sanctuary.

The Heard's goal is to continue to make sure that the NTMWD upholds their responsibility to restore the sanctuary and to do it the right way. They appreciate the McKinney Council for choosing to support their mission.  

The Heard is passionate about making sure that the sanctuary is restored as best as possible so the land will continue to provide a safe home for wildlife and a fun place for nature education and enjoyment.  

Thank you for following the Heard preservation campaign.
