While the Center's main building is closed to the public due to renovations, the Lloyd Center offices are open. Enjoy our walking trails, open free to the public from dawn to dusk.
Please Consider Giving to the Lloyd Center’s 2024 Annual Appeal!
This has been a monumental year at the Lloyd Center! Our new Welcome Center, constructed by students from the Greater New Bedford Regional Vocational Technical High School and built to Living Building Challenge™ (LBC™) specifications, opened to the public.
Even while under construction, our Education Team taught more than 10,000 students, and our research department monitored endangered local species.
With increased operating costs, your gift means even more this year than ever before. Renowned Lloyd Center programs are in higher demand now more than ever, yet there is a critical funding need on all fronts, as local school budgets and funding for environmental issues cannot keep pace with what is needed.
Your donation directly supports education and research opportunities that otherwise could not be afforded by local schools, families, and community organizations.
About The Lloyd Center
The Lloyd Center serves individuals, agencies, and organizations in southeastern New England – Rhode Island to Boston to Cape Cod. It is the only area organization focused on educating the public about coastal and watershed issues, and conducting research on coastal ecosystems and endangered species.
The Center cooperates on a broader level in coastal, environmental, and educational programming throughout New England, nationally and internationally.
Our school-based activities further expand our reach to urban audiences. A scholarship program also provides space for ten urban New Bedford students in our Summer Program.
