Date: 5/30/2012 Album ID: 1478841
Lyonia Preserve, 2150 Eustace Ave., Deltona, is a 360-acre joint project of Volusia County's Land Acquisition and Management Division and the Volusia County School Board to restore and maintain scrub habitat. Since 1994, restoration efforts have removed overgrown sand pines and opened up the understory, creating the characteristic bare sand areas with low-growing vegetation preferred by scrub species.
