CONSERVATION COMMUNITY

RiverBluff focuses on the preservation and restoration of sensitive ecosystems. Residents are encouraged to use the common land for recreation and to participate in ongoing landscape management activities.

Ecological Stormwater Management RiverBluff incorporates stormwater management techniques that infiltrate and clean stormwater. A series of rain gardens located adjacent to roads retain stormwater from most storms, and allow water to overflow to the common area during intense storms. Some houses also include vegetated roofs.

Native Plant Landscape. The roadways and common areas at RiverBluff are planted with a variety of native plants that need a minimum of maintenance. Residents are encouraged to think of their yards as gardens or outdoor living spaces, and plant primarily with native species. The restoration of the native woodland habitat in rear yards is strongly encouraged.
