Wildlife and Plant life
The residents of CFE #7 share a love for
this neighborhood and the fact that the area remains as natural
as it was in the 1970's. Our Protective Covenants
preserve the appearance of the neighborhood and make it a welcome
haven for humans with a love of enjoying gorgeous views, wildlife,
and diverse native plant life.
The abundance of Sonoran desert foothills wildlife
includes: many types of birds, lizards, snakes, as well as rabbits,
hares, javelina, bobcats, mountain lions, and more! Native plant
life includes many types of cactus, succulents, bursage, as well
