Platinum Sponsor: has remained committed to education and conservation, said Brewer, who, in addition to her zoo duties, is the founder and executive director of Mendon non- profit EARTH Ltd., which works with Southwick's to provide educational and conservation programs. The zoo plans to expand these programs in the future. One of EARTH's more popular pro- grams is the rhino encounter, focusing on rhino conservation, said Brewer. White rhinos remain threatened due to poaching and habitat loss. Guests can sign up online to learn about the changing plant and conservation before getting to meet the Southwick's Zoo's two rhinos, Thelma and Louise. "EARTH Ltd. is really delving into the rhino issue. We need to educate people. If you educate the public, good things will happen," said Hebert. The zoo is installing an educational maze on conservation and habitat for its small otters, as well as adding exhib- its for red river hog, the racoon-like coati, and three-banded armadillo. Galliford's impact Conservation extends to Galliford's, which uses organic produce and wild caught seafood. The restaurant is heat- ed by a geothermal heat pump system installed by New Hampshire firm Design Day Mechanicals Inc. The system brings heat up from the ground in the winter and puts heat back into the ground in the summer. As a result, Galliford's uses no fossil fuels to heat its building, saving approx- imately 15,376 kilowatt hours a year in electricity consumption, enough to power about 15 homes. Betsey Brewer plans to expand the conversation efforts through nonprofit EARTH Ltd. by offering more zoo programing. Southwick's visitors can sign up online to meet the zoo's rhinos. W
