This 19th-century saltwater farm scene painted by watercolor artist DeWitt<br />
Hardy is now a mural in the “economic landscape” room of the new exhibits.<br />
“Changing Landscapes” exhibits open in revamped Visitor Center<br />
Change is the underlying theme for all-new exhibits in the <strong>Wells</strong><br />
<strong>Reserve</strong> Visitor Center.<br />
Four windowlit rooms of the historic farmhouse reveal alterations<br />
in the region’s landscape at key moments in time. From the<br />
last ice age to the arrival of the Wabanaki, from European settlement<br />
to the industrial revolution, and from progressive agriculture<br />
to widespread farm abandonment, visitors travel 14,000 years to<br />
arrive at today’s protected landscape and the achievements of the<br />
environmental movement.<br />
The exhibits emphasize that people are an integral part of<br />

Imparting a message of stewardship for land and water is<br />
a primary goal for Changing Landscapes. The exhibits focus on<br />
the <strong>Wells</strong> <strong>Reserve</strong> site, but their content extends generally across<br />
the region, just as the reserve’s outreach for conservation covers<br />
all of southern Maine. continued on page 7<br />
If you visited the <strong>Wells</strong> <strong>Reserve</strong> on a Wednesday morning this spring, chances are you encountered a wideeyed<br />
group of students experiencing the Wild Friends in Wild Places school program. This exciting new<br />
field trip option for grades K–2 is being offered in partnership with the Center for Wildlife (CFW), a wildlife<br />
rehabilitation center in Cape Neddick. The goal of Wild Friends in Wild Places is to expose children to wildlife<br />
and their habitats in an outdoor setting, while instilling a sense of stewardship and a deepened respect for<br />
animals. During its pilot year, program and transportation fees…<br />

Diana Joyner<br />
As you can see from this issue, the winter and early spring seasons have been very productive<br />
for us! The long cold winter posed some site challenges, but the snow covered trees and<br />
broad white drifts were quite lovely here. They gave us the inspiration and time to focus on<br />
new projects and programs and plan for our busy summer season.<br />
Much of our time was dedicated to the completion of our new Visitor Center exhibits<br />
and the updating of the first floor in the farmhouse. How fortunate we are to have a private<br />
donor who had the vision and provided the matching funds for this remarkable initiative that<br />
will inspire guests for many, many years!<br />
Our first spring event, <strong>Wells</strong> <strong>Reserve</strong> EcoDay (Healthy Planet, Healthy You) was a grand<br />
success due in large part to the support of more than 30 new business partners. It was<br />
particularly exciting to work with so many Maine entrepreneurs who are committed to<br />
supporting the environment with a diverse range of green products and services and lowimpact<br />
recreational activities. The enthusiasm and willingness of our business partners to work<br />
with us in the future will help us continue to expand our outreach and attract new members.<br />
The scent of lilacs and freshly cut grass wafting through our windows tells us warm<br />
sunny weather is finally here. We are thrilled and ready—the gazebo is refurbished, the<br />
pumpkin and corn garden is planted for fall events, new exterior building signage is in the<br />
works, and the Visitor Center has reopened after a busy few months of preparation. The<br />
campus is bustling again!<br />
We thank you for your commitment and loyalty through good times and bad. You<br />
make it all possible and we are grateful for your friendship and continual support. Check our<br />
website for up-to-date information on what is happening at <strong>Wells</strong> <strong>Reserve</strong> at Laudholm. We<br />
hope to see you often over the summer months. Be sure to come see the new exhibits and<br />
be surprised by the updated Visitor Center!<br />
The <strong>Wells</strong> <strong>Reserve</strong> is one of 28 <strong>National</strong> <strong>Estuarine</strong> <strong>Research</strong> <strong>Reserve</strong> sites throughout the<br />
country. All reserves require local funding to match federal grants from the <strong>National</strong> Oceanic<br />
and Atmospheric Administration. The <strong>Wells</strong> <strong>Reserve</strong> is the only reserve that receives its match<br />
from a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Each year, Laudholm Trust contributes private funds<br />
and in-kind services to support <strong>Wells</strong> <strong>Reserve</strong> operations and capital improvements.<br />

education / coastal training<br />
Saco River estuary inspires application of collaborative learning<br />
Dr. Christine Feurt, affable coordinator of the<br />
<strong>Wells</strong> <strong>Reserve</strong>’s Coastal Training Program,<br />
loves bringing people together to work on<br />
behalf of improved ecosystem health. Hers<br />
is not an ivory-tower approach; Chris begins<br />
by soliciting the opinions held by members<br />
of a project’s community.<br />
To get that conversation going, the<br />
Coastal Training Program team (CTP) conducts<br />
interviews with key officials and hosts<br />
public workshops involving the people most<br />
committed to a river: Those who use it.<br />
“If you get people talking about what<br />
makes the river running through their community<br />
important to them,” Chris explains,<br />
“they discover shared values.” Once group<br />
members recognize they have common<br />
concerns, they are more prepared to collaborate<br />
on keeping what they value intact.<br />
That’s why, when assembling a group<br />
at the start of each new project, Chris says<br />
she always gets “right to the values.” She has<br />
come to recognize such frequent themes as<br />
a river’s beauty when tides ebb and flow or<br />
seasons change; its importance for fishing,<br />
canoeing, and swimming; and its role in<br />
supporting a vibrant local economy.<br />
From Caring to Protecting<br />
With the foundation of shared values<br />
in place, Chris poses two key questions:<br />
“What threatens the things that you value<br />
and how can we work together to protect<br />
what’s important to you?” This is where the<br />
real work of community-based ecosystem<br />
management starts to happen.<br />
Participants must first acknowledge<br />
the perceived threats, then challenge themselves<br />
to identify strategies they can pursue<br />
together to protect what they value. With<br />
steady support from CTP, they find new ways<br />
to work across municipal, organizational, and<br />
watermark<br />
disciplinary boundaries to form a plan of action<br />
for protecting precious natural resources<br />
along with a community’s quality of life. By<br />
preparing the plan collaboratively, the group<br />
has a collective stake in seeing the identified<br />
actions through to completion.<br />
Chris has described community-based<br />
ecosystem management as “an approach<br />
to getting things done.” It connects the collective<br />
wisdom of people with a stake in a<br />
sustainable future (social capital) with nature’s<br />
ability to provide clean water, clean air, and<br />
support for living systems (natural capital).<br />
“This approach to ecosystem management<br />
has been applied in a number of<br />
communities around southern Maine,”<br />
Chris points out. It started in 2005 when<br />
Protecting Our Children’s Water focused<br />
on the Merriland River, Branch Brook, and<br />
Little River watershed. A successful pilot and<br />
important proof of concept, Protecting Our<br />
Children’s Water unified a group of planners,<br />
managers, community leaders, and<br />
scientists from three towns around a shared<br />
vision and set of actions for their watershed.<br />
After similar work in the Kennebunk,<br />
Spruce Creek, and York river watersheds<br />
refined and reinforced the collaborative<br />
learning method, CTP embarked on a major<br />
project with the Town of Sanford. Once<br />
again, the integration of social and natural<br />
sciences revealed common ground for<br />
constituents, who not only created a conservation<br />
plan but then incorporated it into the<br />
town’s comprehensive plan.<br />
Today, the Coastal Training Program<br />
has community-based ecosystem management<br />
efforts under way along several rivers.<br />
One case in point: In partnership with the<br />
University of New England (UNE), the <strong>Wells</strong><br />
<strong>Reserve</strong> is involved in a 5-year project to<br />
investigate the effects of increasing coastal
spring 2011 volume 28 issue 1<br />
development on the health of the Saco<br />
River estuary, and to identify ways to mitigate<br />
those effects.<br />
Sustaining the Saco<br />
The Saco River basin is the largest watershed<br />
in southern Maine, draining about<br />
1,700 square miles and encompassing all or<br />
part of 20 cities and towns in the state. From<br />
its headwaters in the White Mountains of<br />
New Hampshire, Maine’s fourth-largest river<br />
flows roughly 120 miles before emptying<br />
into the Gulf of Maine between the cities of<br />
Biddeford and Saco.<br />
bolstering those efforts by collecting and<br />
analyzing data on the fish that use salt<br />
marshes along the tidal portion of the Saco<br />
River. Last summer, research associates<br />
Jacob Aman and Jeremy Miller led a team<br />
that repeatedly sampled coastal fish using<br />
the marsh surface, with special interest in<br />
migratory species such as river herring, eel,<br />
and tomcod. Their work continues in 2011.<br />
Meanwhile Chris, the social scientist,<br />
focuses on the people of the area and the<br />
places where they live, work, and play. She<br />
is also studying the gaps in scientific knowledge<br />
that prevent certain management<br />
If you get people talking about what makes<br />
the river running through their community<br />
important to them, they discover shared values.<br />
The estuarine portion of the Saco River<br />
extends about 4 miles, from near Cataract<br />
Dam at Factory Island, Biddeford (the most<br />
seaward of the river’s 40-plus dams), to<br />
Camp Ellis and Hills Beach. At the river<br />
mouth lies the UNE campus.<br />
A team of UNE and <strong>Wells</strong> <strong>Reserve</strong> scientists,<br />
along with a number of undergraduate<br />
students from the university, is now studying<br />
the ecology of the Saco River estuary, as<br />
well as the policy, regulation, and economic<br />
influences upon it.<br />
UNE students and their professors are<br />
approaching the project from myriad natural-science<br />
angles — surveying fish in the<br />
river channel, monitoring birds using the estuary<br />
and edge habitats, assessing bacterial<br />
counts in the water, using GIS models to see<br />
how the river’s shoreline could change with<br />
sea-level rise, researching the livelihoods<br />
supported by the estuary, and learning<br />
about salt marsh plant communities.<br />
As a project collaborator, <strong>Wells</strong> <strong>Reserve</strong><br />
research director Dr. Michele Dionne is<br />
and policy questions from being answered<br />
during stakeholder workshops.<br />
Over the course of the 5-year project,<br />
stakeholders will agree upon a way to<br />
regularly monitor and summarize the health<br />
of the Saco River estuary. During the next<br />
several months, the team will be considering<br />
potential tools that might serve as a<br />
sort of “report card” for measuring progress<br />
toward future goals. Already, the Biddeford<br />
Open Space Committee has committed to<br />
using information from the project in the<br />
city’s open space plan.<br />
“Sustaining Quality of Place in the<br />
Saco River Estuary through Community<br />
Based Ecosystem Management” is a 5-year<br />
grant (2009–2014) made to the University<br />
of New England by the <strong>National</strong> Science<br />
Foundation EPSCoR program (Experimental<br />
Program to Stimulate Competitive <strong>Research</strong>)<br />
and administered through the University<br />

<strong>Wells</strong> Elementary students safely enjoy their close-up view <strong>inside</strong> a specially constructed bat case while<br />
Karen McElmurray from the Center for Wildlife dispels rumors about bats and shares some cool facts.<br />
are covered for select classes at <strong>Wells</strong> and York elementary schools thanks to generous funding<br />
from New Hampshire Charitable Foundation, Maine Outdoor Heritage Fund, Maine Community<br />
Foundation, and Davis Conservation Foundation.<br />
For the initial hour of Wild Friends in Wild Places programs, Center for Wildlife educators use<br />
non-releasable rehabilitated animals to teach about native wildlife and foster the connection<br />
between children and animals. In Mather Auditorium, students watch live mammal, reptile, and<br />
bird wildlife ambassadors while learning about their unique behaviors, features, and needs. The<br />
children are engaged as they see a live owl flap its wings, a turtle extend out of its shell, or an<br />
opossum munch on a fruit snack. Presenters integrate conservation and stewardship messages,<br />
heightening the students’ understanding of their role in wildlife protection.<br />
Next, the children head outdoors with <strong>Wells</strong> <strong>Reserve</strong> educators, using nature journals to<br />
explore habitats while searching for animal homes and signs. Student journals feature the animal<br />
ambassadors and include follow-up activities for the classroom. While hiking along the trails, the<br />
children search for suitable homes for each of the animals and create simple sketches of their<br />
discoveries along the way. Several of the classes that visited in the winter season experienced the<br />
trail portion of the program on snowshoes (thanks in part to a generous donation from LL Bean).<br />
Following the visit to the <strong>Wells</strong> <strong>Reserve</strong>, teachers coordinate a stewardship project with<br />
their students. These projects enable the classes to apply their newfound knowledge about<br />
wildlife and habitats to their local community, while extending the educational impact of the<br />
field trip to other community members.<br />
Program feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. One teacher reported that her<br />
students enjoyed their visit so much that they now want to return to the <strong>Wells</strong> <strong>Reserve</strong> with<br />
their families. Another remarked that the children “loved seeing the animals and talking about<br />
habitats. It really matches our lessons in the classroom.” A third teacher singled out Wild Friends<br />
in Wild Places as “one of the best experiences” she has taken kids on throughout her career.
spring 2011 volume 28 issue 1<br />
The exhibits were designed by Main Street Design and built by Mystic Scenic Studios with<br />
guidance from an ad hoc committee led by education associate Hannah Wilhelm.<br />
The Changing Landscapes exhibits were funded by generous donations from Charles and<br />
Rebecca Richardson, the Virginia Hodgkins Somers Foundation, and Laudholm Trust, plus a<br />
grant from the <strong>National</strong> Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.<br />
In planning for the new exhibits, we determined that the historic Laudholm farmhouse<br />
would not be significantly altered. But it was also clear that something needed to be done<br />
to improve the flow through exhibit rooms. The solution was to make a simple change: An<br />
under-used doorway became the new<br />
Visitor Center entrance. The necessary<br />
short walkway and set of steps were<br />
made out of pink granite from right<br />
here in <strong>Wells</strong> by Millenium Granite<br />
Quarry and Stoneworks.<br />
The new exhibits include<br />
touchable features like<br />
wave-worn stones and<br />
a paleo-Indian tool-kit,<br />
an enclosed threedimensional<br />
model of<br />

The Wild Landscape<br />
14,000 years ago to 1400s<br />
The story begins with the weight<br />
of a mile-high glacier pressing<br />
down upon what is now the Maine<br />
coast. The end of the last Ice Age<br />
led to colonization of the coastal<br />
landscape by Wabanaki people.<br />
The Economic Landscape<br />
1600s to 1800s<br />
Subsistence lifestyles began to fade<br />
away as Europeans settled in the<br />
region, bringing a market-based<br />
approach to the landscape. The<br />
Industrial Revolution contributed<br />
to a decline in farming throughout<br />

Post-Baccalaureate Environmental Education Fellow<br />
“<br />
I have no doubt that the <strong>Wells</strong> <strong>Reserve</strong> was the place<br />
for me to be after graduating from Colby College. My first<br />
few days were spent meeting the friendliest, happiest staff I have<br />
ever encountered. I could tell right away that the <strong>Wells</strong> <strong>Reserve</strong> is a<br />
place where people want and love to work and I was thrilled that I would soon feel the same.<br />
The independent-but-guided nature of this fellowship is ideal for a student who has just graduated from college. It<br />
truly is a learning opportunity; one is not expected to be an expert in the field of environmental education to take on this<br />
position, so it provides a great stepping stone for a person who is passionate about the environment and who wants to<br />
learn how to share that passion with others.<br />
I was challenged with learning how to plan a curriculum and effectively teach students. It was very reassuring to<br />
know that Suzanne and Ellen, and eventually Paige and Hannah, were there to bounce ideas off of and to learn from.<br />
I have so many memories from leading camp programs—a student holding a periwinkle for the first time, getting<br />
stuck in the muck of the mudflats along with five little campers and laughing at how muddy we got, group hugs at the<br />
end of a week of Junior <strong>Research</strong>ers, and a blind camper who was the most inspiring of them all with her unconditional<br />
love of nature, people, and life.<br />
Once at the <strong>Wells</strong> <strong>Reserve</strong>, I was able to realize my potential as a teacher. I was able to see instantly that the<br />
programs I led had a profound effect on students. I produced the best work I have ever created and my imagination,<br />
”<br />
horizons, and self-expectations have all been expanded.<br />
