Lloyd Center Awarded $4000 Grant from Norcross Wildlife Foundation, Inc.

New York, NY - The Norcross Wildlife Foundation, Inc. has awarded the Lloyd Center for the Environment (Dartmouth, Massachusetts) a grant of $4,000. This grant has been given to the Lloyd Center to support the acquisition of a professional display-level aquarium for a state-of-the-art watershed ecology exhibit.

The Tenecor Cylinder Aquarium will become a centerpiece for the Lloyd Center’s newly renovated nature center and when filled with floating diaphanous jellyfish, will create an effective and exciting exhibit for the enjoyment and learning of Lloyd Center visitors. Combined with upgraded displays of collections, which range from bones to butterflies, to live reptiles and amphibians, this new aquarium will play a major role in elevating the visibility and impact of the Lloyd Center’s integrated research and environmental education programs.

The Norcross Wildlife Foundation, a by-product of the Norcross Wildlife Sanctuary located in Monson, Massachusetts, was established in 1939 by Arthur D. Norcross. Their mission is to protect, enhance and expand habitat for wildlife primarily at the Norcross Wildlife Sanctuary; to protect wild land wherever it is threatened; to propagate, establish, restore and maintain populations of threatened and endangered plants native to New England; to provide the public with educational programs in natural and environmental science; and to support, through grants, gifts, easements and loans-for-land, the activities of a national and international constituency of not-for-profit wildlife conservation organizations.
