Mission

Founded in 1980, the Lloyd Center for Environmental Studies works to facilitate long-term conservation of our natural resources through education and research and to inspire and empower citizens to make wise environmental choices. We seek to instill in students of all ages an understanding and appreciation of our coastal and watershed environments, their unique and fragile nature and our special relationship and responsibility to them. The Lloyd Center's primary focus is on students and teachers in grades K-8. This focus is based upon the established and critical need of these groups for sound scientific background information. The Lloyd Center also acts as a catalyst for positive environmental change by developing cooperative programs with other local organizations.
