Understanding Ecosystems for a Sustainable Future

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 need to use any indoor facilities. See our COVID-19 Visitor Guide for where to park, updated maps and hours, and other safety info. Visitors: There is currently no drinkable water at our Reed Education Center while we test our well system, so we encourage bringing your own water to stay hydrated!
