Tesoro Viejo Sustainability Efforts Foster Healthy Lifestyle for Residents

In the heart of Central California, Tesoro Viejo is reinventing master-planned community living with a deep commitment to sustainability and environmental conservation. As more individuals seek a sustainable and healthier way of life, Tesoro Viejo proves that new home communities can grow and thrive while also respecting the natural world.

The trails, homes, and amenities of Tesoro Viejo are designed to promote a healthy lifestyle for its residents while preserving the beautiful landscape that surrounds it. Below, we’ll take a closer look at some of the Tesoro Viejo sustainability efforts that make this community a leader in promoting healthy and eco-friendly living.

Tesoro Viejo’s Approach to Sustainability

At its core, Tesoro Viejo’s planning, design, and building practices embody the principles of conservation and sustainability. The community has been meticulously developed to leverage the natural topography, ensuring minimal environmental impact while providing residents with breathtaking views and an array of outdoor amenities. The emphasis on walkability reduces the community’s carbon footprint, encouraging residents to explore their surroundings on foot or by bike.

Water Sustainability

Water preservation is at the forefront of Tesoro Viejo’s environmental efforts. Our innovative water management practices help to make every drop count:


• Reliable Source of Surface Water: We’ve secured a reliable source of surface water with Madera Irrigation District – meaning we aren’t dependent on groundwater wells and the impact of declining groundwater aquifer.

• Advanced Treatment Facilities: Our on-site water and wastewater facilities use cutting-edge technology to maximize efficiency and minimize waste.

• Reclaimed Water Use: We use recycled water for public green spaces, helping to maintain landscapes without straining local water resources.

These efforts reflect our commitment to sustainability and responsible resource management, making Tesoro Viejo a model for eco-friendly living.

Land Sustainability

At Tesoro Viejo, we take our commitment to the environmentseriously, preserving nearly 200 acres of vital open spaces that nurture both our community and local wildlife. These areas include:

Riparian Corridors & Arroyos: Natural waterways preserved to sustain local ecosystems.

• Wetlands & Grasslands: Crucial for biodiversity and natural water management.

Additionally, we’ve dedicated another 200 acres to creating spaces where nature and community meet, totaling nearly 400 acres of recreational and green areas. This includes:

• Parks & Trails: Over 15 miles of trails linking neighborhoods to nature.

• Recreational Spaces: Playgrounds, picnic areas, and sports fields, designed for family and community activities. This thoughtful integration of nature within our development supports wildlife and provides our residents with a healthy, sustainable environment to call home.

Conservation Efforts

Our dedication to preserving nature is evident in Tesoro Viejo’s award-winning sustainability practices, which have been recognized nationally. Here’s a glimpse at how they maintain harmony with the environment:

• Native Species Preservation: Established a nursery with over 10,000 trees that now beautify and cool the community.

• Wildlife Conservation:

o Protected habitats for the California Tiger Salamander and over 30 native bird species.

o Contributed 601 acres to the Sierra Foothill Conservancy’s efforts to connect and protect regional ecosystems.

These initiatives highlight Tesoro Viejo’s ongoing commitment to conservation and a wildlife-friendly environment.
