SUMMARY:Landscape of Change: Historic Acadia National Park
DESCRIPTION:Join Landscape of Change partners and Smithsonian Associates on Thursday\, June 8\, 2023 from 6:30 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. (via Zoom) to learn about how you can help document sea level rise. \nFor centuries\, the coastal location and diverse landscape of Maine’s Acadia National Park – featuring mountain summits\, rocky shores\, and wooded valleys – have drawn Indigenous residents\, explorers\, settlers\, and visitors in search of beauty and inspiration. The juxtaposition of landscape has created a unique region and a haven for scientists. Their centuries of written records\, specimen collections\, and oral histories have provided baselines for understanding environmental change on Mount Desert Island and beyond. \nSchoodic Institute’s Science Communication Specialist Catherine Schmitt will share the story of science in Acadia\, including how the records of university students helped inspire the conservation efforts which led to the formation of the national park\, and how this legacy is helping scientists today document a rapidly changing world. \nThis presentation will take place online via Zoom. Registration required – click here to sign up today.

SUMMARY:Project ASCO Volunteer Training at Ferry Landing
DESCRIPTION:Join Schoodic Institute’s Project ASCO research team in collaboration with Blue Hill Heritage Trust on June 9\, 2023 from 8:00am – 11:30am at Ferry Landing(Brooksville\, Maine) to learn about and collect data on rockweed\, a foundational seaweed in Maine’s rocky intertidal! Please register for this volunteer training event below.\n \nProject ASCO is a citizen science research initiative designed to get interested participants out into the intertidal zone to collect data about rockweed while exploring the beauty of the rocky coast between the tides. Rockweed (Ascophyllum nodosum\, or “Asco”) is the dominant species in most of the rocky intertidal zone of Maine and provides habitat for other species living in and visiting the intertidal zone. Rockweed is currently harvested in Maine and sustainable management requires knowledge of the total amount of rockweed throughout the state. Participants in Project ASCO can help answer the question\, “How much rockweed is there?” The data collected by Project ASCO participants will be analyzed and shared by scientists at Schoodic Institute to inform resource management. \nDuring this training\, volunteers learn the Project ASCO research protocol in a hands-on setting by collecting data on rockweed in the rocky intertidal. At the end of the training\, volunteers are provided with field gear to collect their own data on rockweed and will be able to contribute to the Project ASCO database on the public data hub anecdata.org. \nActivities for this research training include working with Schoodic Institute researchers in the rocky intertidal\, a place where slips\, trips\, and falls can be a concern due to wet or unsteady rocks and seaweed. Please come prepared with weather appropriate field gear\, long pants\, close toed shoes\, and enthusiasm for learning about Maine’s rocky intertidal ecosystem! Note: there are no bathroom facilities at this location. Please park at the lower lot at the end of Ferry Road in Brooksville. See Blue Hill Heritage Trust map for additional details. \nIf you have any questions about Project ASCO or this in-person volunteer training event\, please email projectasco@schoodicinstitute.org. \nThank you to the Blue Hill Heritage Trust for partnering with us to host this volunteer training. \n \n  \n  \n  \nThank you for your interest. Registration has now closed for this volunteer training event.
