SUMMARY:2025 Acadia Amphibian Monitoring Training
DESCRIPTION:Get friendly with our neighborhood amphibians by monitoring their nighttime presence! Volunteer to help conduct research on Mount Desert Island and the Schoodic Peninsula\, and your data will contribute to research at the University of Maine\, Acadia National Park\, and Schoodic Institute. \nThe Acadia Amphibian Project supports research by Marisa Monroe and Dr. Noah Charney at the University of Maine\, Orono\, in collaboration with the National Park Service and Schoodic Institute. Marisa was awarded a 2024 Acadia Science Fellowship by Schoodic Institute in support of this work. (Click here to read the full press release). This research uses dedicated volunteers to monitor transects around Mount Desert Island and the Schoodic Peninsula for the presence of amphibians on roads. This year\, we will be monitoring six sites and we invite you to please sign up on a per night basis. \nWe will be using the Survey123 app to collect data in the field. (If you feel uncomfortable using an electronic field form\, you will be provided with paper field forms). Data from this work supports the creation of a predictive model to help the park understand when and where amphibians are moving across roads. Our goal is to find ways to protect migrating and moving amphibians year round — not just in the spring. \nIf you would like to join this project\, please fill out the registration form here and attend one of the training sessions (Thursday\, March 6th from 5:30pm – 7:30pm or Saturday\, March 8th from 11:00am – 1:00pm). If you cannot attend\, please email marisa.monroe@maine.edu and we may be able to arrange an alternative training. \nThe volunteer training sessions will take place at the Acadia National Park Headquarters (20 McFarland Hill Drive\, Bar Harbor\, ME 04609). \nIF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO VOLUNTEER IN PERSON: You can still participate! If you see an amphibian on a road in Acadia National Park\, we encourage you to make an iNaturalist observation. Observations will automatically be collected into a project titled “Acadia Amphibian Project”. If you do not wish to post to iNaturalist\, you can email your observation to marisa.monroe@maine.edu. \nBanner photo by Marisa Monroe
