Volusia Conservation Corridor

55,000+/- acres. The Volusia Conservation Corridor sits essentially in the middle of the County and connects lands north of the City of Deltona and east to the City of Edgewater. These lands include habitat needed for federal and state listed endangered and threatened species such as the Florida black bear, Florida sandhill crane, Florida scrub jay, bald eagle, wood stork, red-cockaded woodpecker, gopher tortoise, indigo snake, and Florida pine snake. Preliminary ground water modeling and natural resource assessments have indicated the potential for additional water supply development, thus it provides for water resource development. The land is also critical in providing flood protection for existing and future populations, protecting surface and ground water quality, and providing resource-based recreation for both residents and tourists alike. This project is on the State’s Acquisition and Restoration Council (ARC) priority list for acquisition.
