About this Event

Florida is home to 31 native species of carnivorous plants, more than any other state. Join environmental specialist, Tommy Nordmann, on the Explore Volusia eco-buggy and discover some of the species found in Volusia County. Learn about the adaptations these plants have developed over time to survive in Florida’s ecosystems.
