About this Event

Join environmental specialist, Tommy Nordmann, on the Explore Volusia eco-buggy and discover some of the wildlife that call pine flatwoods and cypress swamps home. Participants will learn the important roles these animals play and how Volusia County Land Management maintains these important ecosystems.

TICKETS: No printed ticket is necessary.

AGES: All ages are welcome.

ATTIRE: closed-toe shoes and comfortable clothing for the outdoors

** Some of our trails have mud and/or standing water because they are located in wetland ecosystems and because of seasonal rains and high tides.

Our leader will let you know the condition of the trails prior to the start of the tour.
