Wells Reserve at Laudholm has set a goal like no other organization in Maine.

We are well underway in securing solar power to run our operation, said Paul Dest, director of the Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve. Our goal is to become 100 percent self-sufficient on solar power.

For those who know the Wells Reserve at Laudholm, it is no surprise that it would chart such ambitious goals. It has a rich history of development and progress.
