We are pleased to announce that our new Education Center building has been completed and is now being used for classroom space, a home for our resident animals, and offices for our education staff.  Additional landscaping work needs to be completed as well as improvements to the Green Briar Nature Center

The last major renovations at Green Briar were completed in 1984.  Since then, the Society has continued to develop and improve its programs and services.  Now it is time to expand and upgrade our facilities to meet the needs of the growing community we serve.  We hope you will help.

This new state-of-the-art center has large classrooms, expanded office space, exhibit areas and storage.  The Green Briar staff, visiting educators and volunteers will use the new building "to inspire reverence for wildlife and concern for the natural environment" to the thousands of students of all ages who visit us.

Phase two of the project will include renovations and improvements to the existing Green Briar building and Jam Kitchen and more work on the grounds. Also included in phase two will be a major effort to secure more endowment support for both general operating and the Shirley G. Cross Wildflower Garden.

Donations and pledges to the Campaign for Green Briar are still being sought and are fully tax deductible.  Members and friends may also contribute to the campaign by purchasing a commemorative memorial brick for the walkway to be constructed between Green Briar and the new Education Center.  Bricks are $100 or $250.

For information on how you can help with a monetary contribution/pledge or the purchase of a brick, please call the Development Office at 508-888-6870

Please come by and visit our new building and especially our resident animals:  Koa the Cornsnake, Miss Prickles the hedgehog, Emma the Guinea Pig, Sir Speedy the Mediterranean Tortoise and all the other animals.
