Ecological

Ecological paradise abounds in Volusia County with an abundance of natural places to view and experience firsthand.
The county proudly boasts approximately 240,000 acres of conservation lands, 172 linear miles of waterways, and 35 miles of beautiful sandy beaches.
From beautiful clear springs where water bubbles to the surface at 72 degrees year-round, to temperate forests canopied with live oaks, to the sandy uplands of scrub habitat that are remnants of Florida’s past, Volusia County offers a wealth of ecological adventure for all.
In addition, many unique animals and plants flourish within these amazing ecosystems. We invite you to experience these jewels of nature for yourself.
