Annual Appeal

With our federal funding in flux, the Wells Reserve is entering a period of uncertainty that could affect the programs, staff, and facilities that make this place thrive. We’re still standing now—spreading coastal research, education, and conservation every day—but we need help to carry the weight of this particular, peculiar time. Donations from folks like you help us stay responsive and ready for what’s next.

And there’s a lot that’s next. In the coming 12 months, we’ll be protecting more land from development, working with our neighbors on storm preparedness, and teaching the next generation of naturalists that the world beyond their phones is so much richer than anyone could imagine.

If you believe in the long-term work we do here, now is the time to protect our woods and waters and keep the Wells Reserve open and alive. Your generosity doesn’t just keep this place a sanctuary of beauty and peace; it’s an investment in the next forty years of coastal stewardship in Southern Maine. Thank you for being a part of saving and sustaining this important place and its work.
