Conservation Design Principles
Planning with Purpose
Conservation‑Led Design
As the largest Conservation Community in Atlantic Canada, Seven Lakes offers you a place to walk, a place to play and a place for your family to grow; a natural lifestyle that is simply priceless. By embracing the principles of conservation design, we are developing a community not just for today, but for the future.
A conservation community means a low impact development that will:
Reserve over 60% of the existing habitat and significant natural features for your enjoyment- and for generations to come
Help protect water sources
Give homeowners access to surrounding natural landscapes
Maintain the rural character of the community
At Seven Lakes, we believe that every great Community Master Plan begins with Conservation Design. Our approach is inspired by nature—connecting people to the land beneath their feet and to neighbours just beyond the hedge.
Neighbourhood greens anchor each community, creating natural gathering places. Footpaths and bikeways link these spaces together, while thoughtfully designed play areas encourage wholesome, outdoor activity for children.
We are committed to preserving trees wherever possible and planting new ones to ensure our neighbourhoods grow richer, greener, and stronger over time.
