The program calendar lists more than 20 talks, walks, and workshops targeting kids or adults. First up, a brown bag lunch on January 27 at noon, where Eddy van Hunnik will talk about restoring marshlands in the Netherlands. On February 3 at 7 pm, underwater photographer and videographer Bob Michelson will teach participants how to identify common fish in the Gulf of Maine. Winter Family Fun Day is February 7 from noon to 4 pm and school vacation week promises three different programs in the Wells Reserve's Just for Kids series.

Trails are open every day from 8 am to 5 pm for skiing, snowshoeing, birding, exercise, and simple solitude. The Visitor Center and ecology exhibits are open Monday through Friday from 10 am to 4 pm.
