Franklin Lakes NJ, the Lorrimer Sanctuary received a $1 million gift from the Winifred M. and George P. Pitkin Foundation to support a major renovation at the facility. The gift will help finance a $3 million new educational center and is among the largest in New Jersey Audubon’s history.
The new educational center at Lorrimer will include new indoor and outdoor education space and a multi-use space and reception area that will provide capacity for increased programming and community engagement. Officials hope the additions will double the current 5,000 visitors a year to the 14-acre preserve.
