Cancellation Policy: NJ Audubon’s programs require a minimum number of registrants to run. If we cancel, due to lack of participation, severe weather, or unforeseen circumstances, all participants will be notified as soon as possible and are eligible for a full refund. Participants may cancel without penalty if greater than 48 hours in advance. Sorry, no refund for cancellations less than 48 hours in advance unless due to health emergencies; however registrations can be transferred to another program in the future.
Please note that Lorrimer's building facilities will be going under construction sometime during the fall and winter. If this leads to cancelled programming, we will refund your order completely and let you know as soon as possible about these cancellations.
Join Us in Celebrating 70 Years and so much more to come!
Since 1956, New Jersey Audubon’s Lorrimer Sanctuary has been a refuge for wildlife, a classroom for nature lovers, and a cornerstone of environmental conservation in our community. Now, we’re inviting you to be part of the next chapter. Lorrimer Sanctuary has inspired generations to connect with the natural world. We’ve protected habitat, educated thousands of visitors, and preserved wild spaces for the species that depend on them. In 2026 is our 70th anniversary, a milestone year marking more than celebration—it’s a launching point. With your support, we’re expanding our nature center to reach more students, serve more families, and educate future generations.
Our expansion project will include:
• Enhanced indoor learning spaces for environmental education
• Outdoor wildlife viewing area
• Accessible restrooms
• Updated driveway and grounds
Whether you’re a longtime supporter or discovering Lorrimer Sanctuary for the first time, your generosity ensures that our nature’s classroom remains open for decades to come.
