Volusia County's Resource Stewardship Division will begin a three-day parking lot improvement project at Doris Leeper Spruce Creek Preserve, 1755 Martins Dairy Road, Port Orange, on Monday, Jan. 12.

The improvements will involve the addition of new road material to improve the quality of the parking lot surface. The parking lot will remain open throughout the duration of the work, and no trail closures are expected.
