WINTER FUN FOR FAMILIES AT WELLS RESERVE

WELLS, MAINE - The Wells Reserve at Laudholm Farm hosts an afternoon of seasonal fun on Saturday, February 7, from noon to 4 pm. With or without snow, the second annual Winter Family Fun Day will have games, crafts, and activities for all ages.

Outdoor fun, weather permitting, will include a snow sculpture competition, an igloo-building demonstration, wildlife tracking, snowshoe walks, nature walks, sledding, and a modified scavenger hunt called letterboxing. Indoors, we will make animal track casts, bird masks, paper fish models, snowflakes, and pine cone bird feeders.

Wells Reserve educators will also do an insulation demonstration. Find out first hand how whales and seals stay warm in frigid water.

Snowshoes will be available, courtesy of Eastern Mountain Sports, and free hot drinks will be provided (please bring a mug). The fee is just $5 per family for members of Laudholm Trust and $8 per family for nonmembers.

The Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve is at 342 Laudholm Farm Road, just off of Routes 1 and 9 near the Wells-Kennebunk line. Please dress warmly. Call (207) 646-1555 or visit www.wellsreserve.org for more information.
