Construction on the City of Ormond Beach’s Environmental Discovery Center is making quick progress and the City plans to hold a grand opening celebration in the spring of 2016. The City is currently seeking volunteer support for EDC operations. The overall programming plan for the EDC is to offer environmental education through children’s classes, summer camp, family and community programs, exhibits, a speaker series, and special events. Some opportunities to get involved are community program leader, field trip leader, exhibit docent, special events, outreach, fundraising, and program development. No matter what position, volunteers will be environmental stewards to Central Park and Volusia County as a whole and will lead to the education and inspiration of local residents and visitors alike.
