Of Cows and Crabs: the Evolution of the Wells Reserve at Laudholm

with Linda Littlefield Grenfell and Norma Fox from Wells Reserve

Saturday, May 6 at 10:30 AM

Estimated duration: 90 minutes

Atop a hill where the Little River and the Gulf of Maine meet and mix, sits one of 30 National Estuarine Research Reserves. Today, the Wells Reserve at Laudholm is a place of coastal research, stewardship, and ecological learning. But there is much more to this story. Beginning in the 1640’s, we will explore the rich history of this site, from saltwater family farm to protected estuary reserve. This guided walk will take us into the barns and historic structures around campus, with a peek into the coastal ecology research lab.

Accessibility: Most locations are paved and have an access ramp. However, the bull barn requires traversing an uneven grassy field with tight quarters inside the barn and the floor boards in the horse barn aren't uniformly flat.

Starting and ending point: Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve
