March is Lloyd Center's Annual Membership Month!
March is the Lloyd Center’s Annual Membership Month, and we invite you to join or renew your membership and continue supporting the programs and research that make the Center such an important resource for our community.
Each year, the Lloyd Center educates approximately 10,000 students through school programs, field trips, and science initiatives, introducing young people to the coastal ecosystems and biodiversity of New England. Your membership helps make these hands-on learning experiences possible, and helps ensure that spring field trips, summer programs, and year-round environmental education continue to serve students and families across our region.
As we enter the spring season, the Center is once again preparing for one of our busiest times of year. In just a few weeks, our Coastal Field Studies program will welcome students from schools across the region to the Center for outdoor field trips and environmental exploration. For many of these students, their visit provides a first opportunity to study marshes, forests, and wildlife habitats alongside our educators.
We have also expanded opportunities for the 9-12 year old students through our Summer Coastal Studies program, adding an additional week so participants can spend more time investigating the Biodiversity of New England (new program) and conducting field-based environmental research.
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.
