Lloyd Center for the Environment is a lovely 82-acre nature reserve preserving native estuary and maritime forest habitats in the South Dartmouth area, originally opened in 1978 as a donation to the Dartmouth Natural Resources Trust by Karen Lloyd. The beautiful natural facility has been named as one of Massachusetts' top 15 special places by the state's Office of Environmental Affairs, noted for its unparalleled natural beauty and unique educational programming. Visitors can view habitats from the center's gorgeous observation deck, which showcases panoramas as far away as Demarest Lloyd State Park and Martha's Vineyard. Permanent exhibits within the center's converted homestead building include aquarium exhibits showcasing the region's native marine life.
