Become a GOPHER TRACKER!!!

The gopher tortoise needs your help.  Volusia County is gathering volunteers that would like to help in our efforts to protect the gopher tortoise. 

The Gopher Trackers will document sightings of gopher tortoises and their burrows.  All we need to know is where you saw the tortoise or its burrows.  Please be as specific as possible. A complete address is best, but if that is not available, simply tell us what street (with cross roads if possible) you documented the tortoise or burrow on with the closest landmark. 

If you would like to give more information please do so.  For example, photos, GPS waypoints, if you saw what the tortoise was it doing, etc. 

The Gopher Tortoise is listed as a Threatened Species.  Please do not harm, harass, handle, or feed the gopher tortoise.  Please DO NOT TRESPASS in order to get this information.
