Field trip to Lyonia Preserve
Details
Lyonia Preserve is a joint project of Volusia County, the Volusia County School Board and the State of Florida to provide environmental education to the public and restore and maintain habitat for scrub-dependent species, including the threatened Florida Scrub-Jay and gopher tortoise. The preserve, named after the scrub plant rusty lyonia, consists of 360 acres of restored Florida scrub habitat. Our tour guide, Stephen Kintner, is a volunteer at the preserve and VP/Conservation Chair of West Volusia Audubon. All levels and ages of birders are welcome.
This is a limited field trip and reservations are required. 8 spots are now left. (People have signed up at monthly meetings.)
