SUMMARY:MDI Science Cafe: Exploring Future Sea Levels with Science\, History\, and Art on Mount Desert Island
DESCRIPTION:How do we document the changing coastline of Mount Desert Island? How can history\, science\, and art come together to help us understand and prepare for the future? \nOn June 9\, join MDI Biological Laboratory Science Cafe panelists Raney Bench (Executive Director at Mount Desert Island Historical Society)\, artist Jennifer Booher\, Catherine Schmitt (Science Communication Specialist at Schoodic Institute) at this hybrid event to discuss how the “Coast Lines” project uses community art\, and science to track sea levels & storm surges. \nPart of the Landscape of Change initiative\, Coast Lines is a public science-history-art project focused on documenting past\, present\, and future storm surges and sea levels on Mount Desert Island. In 2024\, this work took on new and greater relevance as multiple record-setting winter storms impacted waterfronts and ecosystems all around the island. \nJoin us for an update on installations of the “Coast Lines” stencil that involved community partners\, teachers\, and students\, as well as how sea level observations contributed by volunteers have informed scientific models of future sea levels and storms. \nThe panel will also share some lessons learned from engaging the community in thinking about the coastal landscape and how it is changing\, both subtly and dramatically\, and where we’d like to go from here. \nTo register\, please click here.

SUMMARY:BioBlitz for a Resilient Forest Future (at Schoodic Forest)
DESCRIPTION:iNaturalist Early-Detection Training with MCHT and Schoodic Institute\nCurious about how introduced insects are affecting Maine’s trees? Want to go out in the woods and identify species? Join Schoodic Institute and Maine Coast Heritage Trust (MCHT) for an iNaturalist early-detection training and be a forest health detective!  \nLearn how to identify species of management interest\, including harmful insects and at-risk species\, and report them using iNaturalist. Researchers use these data to monitor the distribution of these species and maintain healthy forests. After the event\, you’ll be able to take these skills with you and continue reporting your observations of these species wherever you encounter them. \nWhen and where?\nRain or shine\, join us from 9am – 11am on July 3 at Schoodic Forest in Winter Harbor\, ME (find on Google Maps or scroll down to view). \nWe will meet here at 9am\, and scientists from Schoodic Institute and MCHT will first lead a training about how to use iNaturalist and identify our focal species. After the training\, volunteers will go out into Schoodic Woods to look for and record observations of these species and participate in a BioBlitz to identify as many species as possible. \nWhat to bring?\n Please bring a smartphone or other device compatible with iNaturalist (helpful tip: if you don’t already have the iNaturalist app downloaded to your device\, we suggest doing so prior to the event!). If you don’t have a device\, reach out to us ahead of the event and we will provide tablets for use. We also recommend bringing sunscreen and water\, and wearing comfortable walking shoes. \nQuestions? Reach out to Kyle Lima at klima@schoodicinstitute.org. \nPhoto by Natalia Portales

SUMMARY:2026 Schoodic Winter Birding Adventure
DESCRIPTION:Discover winter birds on the Schoodic Peninsula!\n\n\n\n\nEmbrace the magic of winter on the Schoodic Peninsula with a free\, self-guided birding adventure open to all ages and experience-levels on Saturday\, January 17th from 8am to 12pm. \nThis event is a great way to explore Acadia’s winter wildlife at your own pace. Meet us at Schoodic Institute’s Gatehouse for warm drinks\, snacks\, and fun activities before walking the loop road to the point. \n\n\n\nMeet Gillian\, Abby\, and Julia—our 2025 Cathy and Jim Gero Acadia Early-Career Fellows\nBorrow binoculars and explore bird ID guides\nPlay games to learn more about birding\n\nThen\, set out to discover the region’s winter birds at your own pace! Located at the entrance to Schoodic Institute’s campus in Winter Harbor\, ME\, swing by the gatehouse first to meet the team\, enjoy refreshments and games\, then explore the area. \n\n\nAll ages and experience levels are welcome—beginners encouraged!  \n\n\nPlease note: heated and accessible bathrooms will be located at the gatehouse. Parking on the Schoodic Institute campus can be found near Rockefeller Hall and at the North Lot (there will be directional signs to help point you in the right direction). If you have mobility issues\, there will be parking spots available near the gatehouse. \n\n\n\nQuestions? Please reach out to Gillian Audier at gaudier@schoodicinstitute.com.

SUMMARY:Climate Change: Sea to Trees at Acadia National Park with Earthwatch II
DESCRIPTION:Join Earthwatch in Acadia National Park to help scientists uncover the impacts of climate change on one of New England’s most iconic and biodiverse landscapes\, contributing to crucial conservation efforts for its future. \nThe granite mountains and craggy coasts of the islands that make up Acadia are famous for their beauty and wildlife. This is classic\, unspoiled New England. Our partner\, Schoodic Institute at Acadia National Park\, is based near the tip of Schoodic Point\, feet away from the crashing surf. \nAcadia is home to a stunning diversity of wildlife. It is on a bird “superhighway\,” a route heavily traveled by birds that migrate between Canada and South America. Researchers have recorded 23 species of warblers alone here. The park’s lakes and coastal waters also provide a home for 30 fish species and a wide array of invertebrates\, such as sea stars and urchins. \nBut global changes–like warming temperatures and ocean acidification–are significantly impacting the park\, threatening the diversity of wildlife within. Acadia’s scientists have compiled over 120 years of detailed natural history observations to compare current patterns to. On this expedition\, you’ll help collect similar data that can be compared to this extended time-series data set\, revealing how a changing climate influences Acadia. Few places in the country have such a rich pool of observations to draw from and make comparisons to. \nJoin us in helping scientists tell the story of how humans are transforming Acadia. Your efforts will contribute to research to inspire management strategies to protect this unique and vital national treasure. This is your chance to impact the future of one of the nation’s most beloved parks. \nFind more information\, including registration and full daily itinerary\, here.
