The Lloyd Center for the Environment, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, founded in 1978 and situated with its headquarters and spectacular nature preserve overlooking the scenic Slocum River estuary, has achieved a well-earned reputation for excellence in environmental research and education. Through its innovative outreach programs, it has established itself as a highly regarded leader in the ongoing effort to raise awareness of the area's fragile coastal resources and the importance of protecting them.
The Lloyd Center's 82-acre nature preserve is comprised of pristine salt marsh, maritime forest and undisturbed wetlands in one of the most unspoiled reaches of Dartmouth. The Lloyd Center's seven walking trails offer scenic views of Buzzards Bay, DCR Demarest Lloyd State Park, Mishaum Point, and the islands. Kettle holes, moraine, and a native American midden site, are several features found throughout the trails.
Trails are open from dawn to dusk, seven days a week. View the Center's dog-walking policy at lloydcenter.org.
The Lloyd Center for the Environment is located at 430 Potomska Road, Dartmouth, Massachusetts. For more information, visit lloydcenter.org or call 508-990-0505.
