Visitor Facilities

Facilities make reserves extremely productive places to work. With secure accommodations, housing, laboratories, and office space, reserves users can make the most of their time in the field.

After decades in operation, a number of reserve buildings and other structures need modernization and maintenance. Other reserves lack permanent structures, limiting visitor use. Energy efficiency upgrades reduce the carbon footprint of reserve buildings and can allow reserves to operate off-grid. Keeping trails in good repair ensures safe access to all reserve lands.
