Lake Highlands Advocate: North Texas Wildlife Center facing closure

On June 27, the NTXWC took to Facebook to share the news that the City of Plano had given the organization 60 days to vacate their property or be shut down, despite having a permit. The city business department’s main issue with the center arises from the high volume of foot traffic it generates in a residential area, the Facebook post clarified.

The center’s leadership is Lake Highlands-based based and its animals — including Coconut, the white opossum — have appeared at numerous Lake Highlands events. Vector Brewing has hosted a few, with the most recent being Coconut’s second birthday party.
