Visitors: Our campus is open for hiking, biking and paddling Monday through Saturday, 8:30am-4:30pm, with closures only on Sundays and federal holidays. All visitors should do a self-health check before arriving and bring a face covering if you wish to use the indoor restrooms. We also advise bringing a filled water bottle, as our Reed Education Center is temporarily out of potable water while we replace the water tanks. See our COVID-19 Visitor Guide for where to park, updated maps and hours, and other safety info.
Please note changes for summer 2021 program: The Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) is recruiting students for internships during the summer of 2021. In accordance with COVID-19 safety precautions, we will be unable to provide on-site housing for students, so we are interested in students who are looking for virtual internship opportunities as well as those that live locally and would be able to commute to the SERC campus multiple days per week.
