What is EARTH ltd?
EARTH stands for Environmental Awareness of Resources & Threatened Habitats
EARTH ltd is a 501 (c)(3) conservation education non-profit organization based out of the EARTH Nature Center in Millville, Massachusetts. We provide zoo visitors and the community with high quality educational programming. Our partnership with the Southwick’s Zoo also allows us to offer on-site fundraising through events like our annual benefit EARTH Bash, Winos for Rhinos, and EARTH Awareness Day.
We also partner with and/or provide support to a variety of environmental and conservation initiatives, both local and global, including rhinoceros conservation and the Trumpeter Swan Restoration Project. Our goal is to educate both the local and global public about a vast number of environmental concerns and to inspire people to take action in preserving the planet we all share.
EARTH ltd’s programs and projects are supported by memberships and donations. Members of EARTH ltd receive free general admission to Southwick’s Zoo in addition to invitations to member-only events and discounts on many of our programs.
Our Vision
We envision a future where humans coexist sustainably with all species and ecosystems, safeguarding biodiversity for generations to come. The grand opening of the EARTH Nature Center in the spring of 2026 will serve as an entry point to the natural world, offering visitors immersive and interactive experiences, presentations, and programs. We aim to foster understanding of the vital connections among people, wildlife, and ecosystems, motivating individuals to make a positive impact.
