There is a wide range of educational opportunities at the Wells Reserve, each designed to be enjoyable, challenging and above all, to provide crucial knowledge of the estuarine environment. On-site and outreach programs provide learning opportunities for all ages and interests. There are seven miles of trails, open daily, throughout the Reserve.
Trails lead visitors through the many ecosystems, from fields to forest, tidal river to ocean.
Trail maps and interpretive booklets for self-guided tours are available for your use at the Visitor Center. A reading library offers on-site use of the reference literature, curriculum development resources, and research and education periodicals. Public tours that focus on birds, wildlife, wildflowers, marsh, beach, and the historic Laudholm Farm are guided by docents. They are offered daily throughout the summer months and on weekends in the spring and fall. Lectures and workshops bring nationally recognized individuals to the Reserve to speak on research, environmental issues, and cultural topics.
