SUMMARY:Climate Change: Sea to Trees at Acadia National Park with Earthwatch III
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.

SUMMARY:Get To Know the Summer Stars Over Schoodic II
DESCRIPTION:Join us September 10 for Get To Know the Summer Stars Over Schoodic with Richard Luecke!  \nAs darkness falls over the Schoodic Peninsula\, the Milky Way arches across the sky from horizon to horizon. Late summer’s most prominent constellations are suspended within its pale glow. \nAmateur astronomer Richard Luecke will take you on an indoor 50-minute image-enhanced journey along that river of starlight and introduce you to summer’s most prominent constellations. You’ll learn to identify Perseus\, Cassiopeia and Andromeda\, Cygnus the Swan\, and Aquila\, Zeus’s pet eagle. Your journey will end in the constellation Sagittarius\, which marks the heart of the Milky Way Galaxy. It glistens with star clusters and glowing clouds of interstellar gas that even our naked eyes can perceive in the Schoodic’s dark sky. \nWe will meet in Moore Auditorium on Schoodic Institute’s campus first. Weather permitting\, we’ll venture outside for a green laser tour\, where you’ll meet these sky wonders face-to-face—and likely see a few flashing meteors! A large astronomical telescope will provide stunning views of the ET Cluster\, the Great Andromeda Galaxy\, the Dumbbell Nebula and more. \nRegister Here\nBring binoculars if you have them\, and dress warmer than you’d think necessary. \nPhoto credit: jmnaturenightscapes

SUMMARY:Organization of Biological Field Stations Annual Meeting at Schoodic Institute
DESCRIPTION:Registration is open!\nWe look forward to hosting the 2026 Organization of Biological Field Stations (OBFS) Annual Meeting on September 14-18 at Schoodic Institute in Winter Harbor\, Maine.\nAcadia National Park is especially beautiful in September\, making the Annual Meeting a perfect time to connect\, refresh\, and renew our commitment to sharing and growing. \nMany thanks to OBFS for the opportunity to host this year’s Annual Meeting. \nThis year’s theme is HOLDFAST. Inspired by holdfasts that anchor seaweeds to the rocky coast\, the theme celebrates field stations’ enduring commitment to place\, their ability to adapt to changing conditions\, and their vision for the future. We look forward to a lively week of conversation\, connection\, and celebration as we gather on the coast of Maine from September 14–18. \nAbout OBFS\nBased in the United States\, OBFS is a volunteer-run non profit composed of member field stations and marine labs from around the globe. The mission of OBFS is to help member stations increase their effectiveness in supporting critical research\, education\, and outreach programs\, a goal pursued in a manner that maximizes diversity\, inclusiveness\, sustainability\, and transparency. \nEach year\, OBFS holds an annual meeting for members. Here\, you will not only meet lifelong friends\, you will also learn ways to improve your station’s fundraising\, education\, outreach\, and research while finding new collaborators and colleagues. \nMore on OBFS here.
