Event comments

This is the club's 2d "traveling guided" walk of 2026. We'll all do the 5K route inside the preserve first, and then the 10Kers will complete their walk in the neighborhoods near the preserve. Good walking shoes, trails shoes, or sneakers are a must. We recommend all participants wear a hat and sunscreen and carry water. Lyonia Preserve is a joint project of Volusia County, the Volusia County School Board and the State of Florida to provide environmental education to the public and restore and maintain habitat for scrub-dependent species, including the threatened scrub jay and gopher tortoise. The preserve, named after the scrub plant rusty lyonia, consists of 360 acres of restored Florida scrub habitat.
