The Wrack

Shining the volunteer spotlight on Bruce Bjork

Working together can accomplish a lot in coastal science, education, and conservation. Our activities at the Wells Reserve have continued, and even grown, in this strange and tragic year.

Even in 2020, one only needs to look, or listen, to still find beauty in the world.

A new set of photovoltaic panels will keep the reserve 100% solar for its electricity needs.

The Wells National Estuarine Sanctuary was designated in 1984 and was gone within 2 years. What happened?

Normally, this weekend would be our summer capstone, the Laudholm Nature Crafts Festival. These are not normal times.

Four determined and ambitious emerging scientists—Phoebe Oehmig, Amanda Giacchetti, Christopher Ring, and Katrina Zarrella Smith—spent their summers contributing to research at the reserve.

The pandemic pushes a tour program to adjust, and it's a good thing. 

Directors of the reserve's three core programs reflect on the challenges imposed by COVID-19.

Keeping the trails open during a trying spring gave many people just the outlet they needed.
