Seaglass Residents to Enjoy The Parks at Bonita Bay
Long acknowledged as a place where residents and nature connect, Bonita Bay’s stewardship of the land is legendary. A deep respect for nature and its preservation guided the community’s design. More than half of Bonita Bay’s acreage was set aside for natural areas and open space, and residential neighborhoods were sited to take advantage of views of nature without impacting it. Land was selectively hand-cleared. Specimen trees, wildlife habitat, and natural wetlands were preserved and invasive exotics were replaced with native species. The result of this highly unique and thoughtful approach to development is a decidedly different community that embraces the unspoiled natural beauty of Southwest Florida. In addition to reptiles, amphibians, fish, and small mammals, Bonita Bay is home to a pair of nesting bald eagles. The eagles have thrived at Bonita Bay, producing more than 30 fledglings since 1977.
