ELC’s 64-acres of natural habitat, along with its aquariums teeming with marine life, is beloved by the community. Maintaining it all takes quite a bit of work and a big wish list! We try to utilize as much nature space as possible in our programming to connect more people to the outdoors in a safe and educational setting.
Whether it’s rebuilding our boardwalks to be more accessible or revitalizing our Native Plant Walk to educate on the importance of native landscaping, your donation helps propel our mission.
The ELC has numerous opportunities for capital giving and naming opportunities. These items and projects could not only enhance our programs but could also transform them. Please take a look at the multiple options by clicking the button below.
