KENYON CENTRE

The Frank Kenyon Centre for Research, Education, and Conservation was established in 2015 as a way to involve students in science and help connect researchers with the Abaco community. The building and grounds act as a demonstration site for sustainable development, providing working examples for the wider community to observe and experience (Learn More).

The Frank Kenyon Centre was named in honor of Frank Kenyon, one of FRIENDS's four founders.

At left he is seen cutting the ribbon during the opening ceremony for the Centre in April 2015. Frank is no longer with us, but he leaves a lasting legacy of passion and dedication to ensuring a sustainable environment in Abaco.

TESTIMONIALS

“It has been a fabulous stay here at the new Kenyon Centre. It has provided a very comfortable and inviting place to stay. This is the perfect basecamp for further exploration of Abaco and great natural and cultural resources. I hope to return to Abaco and bring my family. Thank you for providing this place for so many to enjoy.”

“The Frank Kenyon Centre is AMAZING! Can’t thank you guys enough for such a wonderful stay and all the support you’ve given. Friends of the Environment is a group that every country would benefit from, and I know the Bahamas are so much better for its existence. By supporting this National Geographic expedition you’ve given us a new appreciation for what it means to fight for conservation and the preservation of the natural world. Thank you for all that you do, we’ve had a great time sharing this trip with you!
