We do everything we can to buck this stereotype, and Aurora Trails is an amazing example of what can be preserved with some thoughtful planning. <strong>40% of the community\u2019s total area is conserved wilderness<\/strong> &#8211; meaning a water storage pond to attract wildlife, linked green spaces, and 2 creeks.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We\u2019ve also earmarked two hectares for a <strong>public park,<\/strong> featuring a splash pad, play courts, kid\u2019s playgrounds, and lots of green space. A <strong>butternut tree plantation<\/strong> will also be planted &#8211; this endangered species thrives when given room to grow in Canada\u2019s harsh climates. They\u2019re not related to the butternut squash, but they do yield tasty walnut-like nuts, hence their other name, \u201cwhite walnut.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-296 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/paradisedevelopments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/4703417775_cc444e62b6_b1-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"4703417775_cc444e62b6_b\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-295 size-large aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/paradisedevelopments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/10-facts-about-Friday-Harbour-2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"10-facts-about-Friday-Harbour-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Aurora\u2019s well-known trail system is what inspired us to keep this community true to it\u2019s roots, so of course, we included an extensive trail system. <strong>Aurora Trails features 15.8 km of biking, hiking and walking trails<\/strong> of varying difficulties, so families in any stage of life can feel free to get outside. Selected final-phase lots also back right onto the trail system, giving you forest views and instant access to the outdoors.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We\u2019re also conscious of the impact construction and long-term residences have, which is why we\u2019re working together with our project partners Arista Homes, Opus Homes and Fieldgate Homes to make every part of Aurora Trails the greenest it can be. This includes using new, environmentally friendly building materials, streamlining building systems to use less power and water, and landscaping every property to be more in tune with the natural rhythm.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We\u2019re passionate about adding to Aurora\u2019s legacy while preserving it\u2019s history &#8211; so we\u2019ve also brought the original <strong>Coltham Farm House<\/strong> to it\u2019s new home at Aurora Trails. This landmark, now over 100 years old, will be respectfully restored for public use by community residents.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Interested in becoming part of this landmark community?<a href=\"http:\/\/www.auroratrails.com\/register.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Register here! <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Already registered?
