Bordered by the breathtaking lake that gives the community its name, Longshore Lake is a secluded and serene community located in North Naples that is a nature lover’s dream. With its unique location, quiet, humble surroundings, and stunning views, this community reflects a classic South Florida lifestyle unlike any other. Dotted with live oak, native tropical flora, and mature palms, Longshore Lake is a natural wonder all on its own. But the staple of the community has to be the 88-acre lake that stretches throughout the entire property, creating seven miles of shoreline. The lake attracts natural plants and wildlife, creating beautifully quiet scenery. The lake is carefully managed for irrigation use as well as recreation, and the community dock is the perfect spot to hang out, go kayaking or canoeing, or maybe just watch the sunset.

Bisbee is located in such an amazing region ecologically. We are at a geographic crossroad: the Mule Mountains rise up at the southern tip of the Rocky Mountains and sit at the northern edge of the Sierra Madre Occidental. The Sonoran Desert reaches in from the East and meets the Western boundary of the Chihuahuan Desert. Even the western-most Great Plains introduce their diminishing grasslands to the area. Our mountains add yet another dimension: as the elevation rises, temperatures cool, rainfall increases, plant communities change. All these factors lead to an amazingly rich biodiversity in local flora and fauna. Sandwiched between the two deserts, we possess many plants and animals that are representative of both: cacti, agaves, yuccas, ocotillo and creosote; the cactus wren, kangaroo rats and Gambel’s quail among them. Montezuma quail and the elegant trogon are two examples of species who have moved into Southern Arizona from Mexico, and javelina, coatimundi and jaguars have found new habitat here far from their native ranges in South America. -Trevor Lauber

Stonehaven is a neighborhood in Charlotte, North Carolina with a population of 6400. Stonehaven is in Mecklenburg County and is one of the best places to live in North Carolina. Living in Stonehaven offers residents a nature rich, suburban feel with mature landscaping and robust tree canopy. Originally developed in the 1950s and 60s, our neighborhood was the epitome of suburban Charlotte – designed for the comfort of families with classic brick ranch homes, split-levels and the occasional two-story along winding, tree-lined streets and creeks. Our wildlife include a wide variety of songbirds and raptors, deer, squirrels, chipmunks, racoons, opossum, box turtles, snakes and lizards, and lots of pollinators. We have the most concentration of certified wildlife habitats of any neighborhood in Charlotte. Today, we’re considered close in and an easy 12 minute commute to Uptown. Our mature trees and wildlife friendly landscapes make Stonehaven one of the most pleasing neighborhoods in the city. But what delights our residents even more is our sense of community. Here, our families take daily walks along peaceful sidewalks and stop to greet each other, dog walkers stop to chat, and we bring casseroles to our neighbors and watch out for each other. For more than 25 years, we’ve turned out for special events and celebrations. We have our own website: https://stonehavencharlotte.com/ We’re proud of our schools, and our kids can actually walk or bike to them. We jog and cycle on nearby McAlpine Greenway and hike and play at Boyce Road Park, both of which adjoin our neighborhood. We have a growing number of NWF Certified Wildlife Habitats with more being added each month. We are proud to be the first neighborhood in Charlotte to become a NWF certified community and hope to inspire others to follow our lead.
