Preservation of water, wildlife and improving our local environment

At Oakfire Ridge, we are deeply committed to preserving the natural world and fostering a sustainable future. Our comprehensive environmental program showcases our dedication to this cause:

​

  1. Bio-filtration and Restoration of Natural Grasses for Water Reclamation: We prioritize the reintroduction of native grass species, significantly enhancing bio-filtration and rainwater retention. This initiative not only prevents erosion but also purifies and reclaims rainwater, supporting a diverse range of wildlife, contributing to the Edwards aquafer and maintaining the natural balance of our local environment.
     

  2. Innovative Water Conservation:

    • Rooftop Rainwater Collection System: Each building at Oakfire Ridge will be equipped with a state-of-the-art system to harvest rainwater, reducing our dependency on public water systems and minimizing our ecological footprint.
       

    • Million Gallon Rainwater Collection Pond: This central feature at Oakfire Ridge not only serves as a stunning visual centerpiece but also plays a crucial role in our water conservation strategy, supporting local ecosystems and landscaping needs.
       

  3. Wildlife Preservation Program: Our efforts at Oakfire Ridge are focused on creating a sanctuary for local flora and fauna. By protecting native species and their habitats, we ensure biodiversity thrives in our community.
     

  4. Use of All-Natural Herbicides and Pesticides: In our commitment to sustainable landscape management, Oakfire Ridge exclusively uses all-natural herbicide and pesticide products. This conscious choice helps protect local groundwater from pollution and supports a healthier ecosystem for all living beings.
