3. Sustainability That Supports the Environment
Alces is thoughtfully designed with sustainability in mind. The use of clover-seeded boulevards helps reduce water usage, supports pollinators, and minimizes emissions from mowing. Beyond that, the community features storm ponds and preserved natural wetlands that manage runoff, filter pollutants, and provide habitat for local wildlife. These elements work together to create a healthier, more resilient environment for residents and nature alike. You can learn more about the benefits of clover here.
