Over the past three years, it has been the practice of the Wells Reserve at Laudholm to publish a bit of make-believe each April Fool's Day. We have posted hoax articles to draw attention to real issues like staff changes, invasive species, and the health of local rivers.

We are putting teachers on the estuary again this summer by offering a free workshop that will give educators data-driven climate change activities to bring back to their classes. The workshop will train up to ten educators in reserve-style environmental monitoring, "coastal blue carbon" concepts, and ways to understand and address climate change.
