The three biggest Lepidoptera projects were: 1) a survey of Lepidoptera at MA Military Reservation Army National Guard Training Site ("Camp Edwards") in order to compare the current status of rare moth species with the results of the 1996-98 inventories conducted by The Lloyd Center, 2) a survey for moths At Westborough Cedar Swamp for the Sudbury Valley Trustees, and 3) the unveiling of Mass Moths, a project aimed at identifying and mapping the 2,500+ past and current distribution of moths in Massachusetts. Collaborating with Tufts University, the Lloyd Center completed its 16th year as the Buzzards Bay coordinator of the Seabird Stranding Network, documenting instances of seabird mortality and live-bird activity on the western shoreline of Buzzards Bay. Lloyd Center scientists conducted additional rare-species habitat assessments in Martha's Vineyard, Westport, and Cape Cod. The Center also gathered baseline data for its Biodiversity Initiative, documenting the biota of southeastern Massachusetts. The Center continued its collaboration with Martha's Vineyard conservation agencies and produced rare-habitat assessments for a growing number of private landowners. In addition to its continuing work in protecting Piping Plovers and state threatened species including Diamondback Terrapins on the Commonwealth's Division of Conservation and Recreation beaches in Bristol County, the Center completed its 32nd year of monitoring and protecting the federally-listed ("threatened") Piping Plovers. Research staff also participated in Bioblitzes in Dartmouth, Rhode Island and Berkshire County, as well as the Massachusetts Bristol County North American Butterfly Association's Fourth of July Butterfly Counts. 291355 70585 Environmental Education: The Lloyd Center continues to provide and increasing number of unique hands-on science programs for schoolchildren and adolescents in over 20 different New England cities and towns, at levels ranging from kindergarten through college. This past year, the Lloyd Center worked with over 50 pre-school, elementary and middle schools in the region, visiting a growing number of students on a regular basis to teach interactive lessons on relevant and critically important environmental issues. Three of the curriculum-based offerings, Feathery Focus (an ornithology program specially created for the third-grade level) and Turn-the-Tide (a program dealing with the ecosystems of local estuaries, taught on the fifth-grade level), as well as the new Climate Science Learning Project have proven to be especially effective. All education programs are designed to meet the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks in Science and Technology/Engineering and in History/Social Studies. For children ages 5-15, the Center's Education Department annually provides up to 15 distinct summer programs designed to help students develop a better understanding of science and a deeper appreciation for the need to protect the fragile nature of our coast. Every year, as many as 13,000 students benefit from the participation in Lloyd Center education programs. 133116 7927 Environmental Outreach: The Lloyd Center offers a wide variety of programs designed to engage the minds of southeastern New England citizens of all ages, expanding their understanding of the fragile nature of our coastal environment and the importance of working together to protect it. This past year Lloyd Center Outreach staff interacted with over 2,450 people at various community outreach events as well as popular Lloyd Center Programs such as canoe tours, kayak trips, birthday parties, nature walks, shore-birding expeditions, seal and whale watches, midnight "owl prowls", butterfly and moth identification workshops, and at our own community outreach events, and Koko the owl and friends animal encounter. Five miles of rustic hiking trails, open to the public every day from dawn to dusk on the Lloyd Center's Hardscrabble Nature Preserve, and a broad variety of live marine animal exhibits, complemented by programs and seminars, continue to draw a growing number of citizens of all ages to our Visitor Center. In addition, outreach collaboration with partnering organizations continues to prove exceptionally effective in promoting lifestyle changes aimed at a more sustainable use of natural resources. The Center's unique website provides a vast amount of environmental research and education information for those who seek it electronically. 567856 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 10 0 1 14 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 17 16 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 MA X X X Rachel L Stronach 5089900505 430 Potomska Road Dartmouth MA 02748 MEG CHRIST PAST DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 TIMOTHY G HAYDOCK MD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MORRIS W KELLOGG DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 PETER L MACDONALD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARY D MANDEVILLE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LESLIE E J MCKINLEY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 PETER M NICHOLSON ESQ DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT M PIELECH CPA PAST DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SUZANNE W PRESCOTT DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 STEPHEN DEMAREST RATH DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KELLY C REBELLO DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 OTTO W SCHLEINKOFER III DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 STEPHEN B WITZIG PHD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KATHRYN KAVANAGH PHD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAPHNE F SIEGAL DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MYRNA W HALL CHAIR 6.00 X X 0 0 0 KATHRYN C DUFF RA VICE CHAIR 7.00 X X 0 0 0 RICHARD J RHEAUME PE LSP TREASURER 5.00 X X 0 0 0 KATHLEEN G CLEAR CLERK 5.00 X X 0 0 0 RACHEL L STRONACH EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 60.00 X 62676 0 6476 62676 0 6476 0 0 0 0 SWANSON CONSTRUCTION 5 MAYNARD STREET ATTLEBORO MA 02703 GROSS CONSTRUCTION 267913 1 28725 75790 28160 576568 45985 709243 Program Fees 611710 123018 123018 123018 14209 14209 56823 75790 81527 -24704 -24704 821766 123018 0 -10495 72226 56336 10112 5778 350010 303790 28097 18123 6286 4903 880 503 49278 36554 6592 6132 34573 26062 4678 3833 12000 12000 114 94 13 7 65514 16353 468 48693 1100 1023 49 28 50533 37688 3794 9051 3123 2539 372 212 17040 13085 2194 1761 8658 7366 3 1289 1818 855 436 527 31170 24312 4364 2494 34347 26790 4809 2748 Indirect Fundraising Ex 13644 13644 Intern Reimbursements 10303 10106 6 191 761737 567856 78867 115014 366908 377843 411132 314523 342264 175920 13325 0 18491 19136 3362214 981896 2069460 2380318 634078 784846 3855658 4052586 18315 54524 15000 27500 33315 82024 X 2252787 2255757 70006 189255 1499550 1525550 3822343 3970562 3855658 4052586 60029 88190 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 347666 640397 1523262 900120 709243 4120688 98684 99796 127121 175572 123018 624191 46194 49503 54004 59834 56823 266358 492544 789696 1704387 1135526 889084 5011237 28923 141735 192215 213377 114560 690810 23673 25008 1963 4194 11704 66542 52596 166743 194178 217571 126264 757352 4253885 13138 10543 10071 12998 14209 60959 13138 10543 10071 12998 14209 60959 4480 8498 12978 510162 808737 1714458 1148524 903293 5085174 0.83650 0.84850 0.01200 0.00980 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X X X 0 621775 61000 102071 784846 557566 420623 53224 397248 87 634078 457599 249240 210 149231 252 557566 586239 60702 28094 212500 4936 457599 606610 10098 101688 126290 5867 586239 0.39960 0.60040 0 0 1557500 1557500 1049396 743517 305879 187478 148489 38989 567840 89890 477950 2380318 X 896312 88190 -13644 74546 821766 0 821766 748093 -13644 -13644 761737 0 761737 Part III, Line 1a: The Center maintains both living and non-living collections that directly relate to or are used in its research, outreach and educational programs.
