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.
