About this Event
The Volusia County Explore Volusia program invites you to join Education Specialist Tommy Nordmann on a 1.5-mile hike through the pine flatwoods and oak hammock habitats of Deep Creek Preserve. Along the way we’ll discuss the unique role of the gopher tortoise as a keystone species in Florida ecology, and we’ll try to catch a glimpse of one of these reptiles emerging from their burrows.
