SUMMARY:Be a #SoilHero! Recurring Save Our Summits Volunteer Program
DESCRIPTION:Hike to one of Acadia’s iconic summits AND help Acadia National Park’s efforts to restore native vegetation!\nAcadia National Park\, in collaboration with Friends of Acadia and Schoodic Institute\, invites tenacious hikers to bring bags of soil to the summits of Penobscot and Sargent Mountains. You’ll get to choose how much soil you’ll carry – carrying as little as five pounds (about the size of a large freezer ziplock bag) is a huge help! This soil is integral to the ongoing summit restoration efforts in Acadia National Park. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur Recurring Save Our Summits Volunteer Program occurs every Wednesday from June through September\, 2024. Hikes run from 8:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.\, weather permitting. *Advanced registration is required. Register online at the link below. \nMeet at the Parkman Mountain Carriage Road Trailhead off Route 3 in Acadia National Park. Participants will hike up to the summit of either Penobscot Mountain or Sargent Mountain with a Volunteer Leader. \nRegister Here!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nIf you’re SOS hiking with friends\, family\, or another group\, we highly recommend you carpool. The trailhead has limited parking. Don’t forget your park pass! Arrive prepared to be on trail for a few hours. Dress appropriately with reliable hiking boots and sweat-wicking apparel. Bring water and snacks\, as well as anything you may need for your known medical and allergy needs. Bring a backpack with extra room to stow your soil. Carrying soil up via backpack is the most convenient method. Participants must stay with the group on the hike up to the summit\, but are free to continue exploring the park on their own after dropping off their soil and checking in with the Volunteer Leader. If conditions are expected to be rainy or slippery on the day of the hike\, participants will be alerted via email and invited to register for the next drop-in opportunity. \nThe Routes\nParticipants will hike with soil up to the summit of Penobscot OR Sargent Mountain. \nSargent Route\nElevation gain: 1\,040 ft\nDistance: 4.20 mi\nAllTrails Map \nPenobscot Route\nElevation gain: 1\,086 ft\nDistance: 4.33 mi\nAllTrails Map \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSummit Restoration is Critical\nDespite their hardened granite\, Acadia’s mountain summit ecosystems are incredibly fragile. Human-caused climate change is causing longer growing seasons\, more rain\, less snow\, and fewer species that we know and love. Extreme weather events are damaging landscapes\, cultural resources\, and infrastructure. Invasive plants species are trying to out-compete native summit plants. Trampling by humans has damaged the plant communities at the top of mountains. For the last several years\, Acadia National Park\, Friends of Acadia\, and Schoodic Institute worked together to evaluate new vegetation plantings and soil replacement on Cadillac Mountain summit. This research continues to provide managers with invaluable information on how to direct change toward desired future conditions on Cadlillac and other summits in Acadia. Turns out\, getting soil on the summits is a critical piece of the revegetation puzzle. The loss of vegetation has caused soil to erode\, which means there’s no place for seeds to settle and grow. \nThat’s where you come in. By carrying soil to the summits of Sargent and Penobscot Mountains\, you’ll play an important role in the restoration of these vital ecosystems and their future resiliency. That’s something to feel proud of. (Bonus: you’ll get a wonderfully scenic hike in Acadia!) \nLean more about this science-based approach: Learning How to Restore Mountain Summits

SUMMARY:Project ASCO at Frazer Point
DESCRIPTION:Please join Schoodic Institute’s Project ASCO research team on July 1\, 2024 from 11:30am – 1:30pm at Frazer Point (Winter Harbor\, Maine) as we head into Maine’s rocky intertidal to collect data on rockweed\, a foundational seaweed. Please register for this volunteer event below.  \nWe will begin the field day with a refresher training and then work together to collect along the shore at each site. To find our training videos\, please visit our Project ASCO page. \nParticipation in this event includes 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! \nProject ASCO is a participatory 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. \nIf you have any questions about Project ASCO or this in-person volunteer event\, please email projectasco@schoodicinstitute.org. \n\n \n

DESCRIPTION:Join Schoodic Institute’s Project ASCO research team on July 23\, 2023 from 7:45am to 11:15am at Drift Inn Beach (St. George\, 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! \n \nIf you have any questions about Project ASCO or this in-person volunteer training event\, please email projectasco@schoodicinstitute.org. \nThank you to the Herring Gut Coastal Science Center for partnering with us to host this volunteer training. \n \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn Webinar: Outdoor School for All Maine Students
DESCRIPTION:Join Maine Conservation Voters on Friday\, March 24th from 12pm – 1:30pm for a virtual Lunch & Learn on Maine’s outdoor learning centers! \nA few days at one of Maine’s outdoor learning centers can be transformative for middle school students\, and legislation being introduced this year aims to make sure that all students get that life-changing opportunity. An Act to Support Outdoor School for All Maine Students would support all students in 4th through 8th grades to spend two nights and three days at an outdoor learning center and ensure that the experience would be integrated with school curriculum and aligned with state learning standards so we can get children outside connecting with Maine’s outdoor heritage. Learn more from Drew Dumsch\, President and CEO\, The Ecology School; Nicholas Fisichelli\, President and CEO\, Schoodic Institute at Acadia National Park; and Anne Sedlack\, Attorney at Preti Flaherty and Member of the University of Maine 4-H Camp and Learning Centers at Tanglewood and Blueberry Cove Board of Directors. \nClick here to sign up and receive your webinar access link in a confirmation email. \nThis program is free – registration required.

SUMMARY:Contemporary Architecture in Rural Communities
DESCRIPTION:Join us October 11\, 2022 at 7:00 PM for an evening lecture with Todd Saunders\, founder of Saunders Architecture. \n  \nSaunders Architecture has been making architecture in Scandinavia\, and around the world\, for 25 years.  Our work has one foot in the past and one foot in the future to bridge the gap between the contemporary architecture of today and the existing vernacular architecture of the communities in which we work.  We believe that contemporary architecture in rural communities can function as both a catalyst for positive change and a signifier of place.  From the Aurland Lookout in Norway to the Fogo Island Inn and Studios in Newfoundland\, such projects invite visitors from around the world\, revitalize local economies\, and help foster connections between people.  This talk will showcase examples of our work and its role in the revitalization of local communities\, as well as other examples from around North America and Scandinavia. \n  \nSAUNDERS ARCHITECTURE \nTodd Saunders is a Norway-based Canadian architect known to infuse his contemporary buildings with an artistic sensibility that is deeply in tune with the uniqueness of northern terrains. His use of natural materials and simple yet striking geometries sets him apart as one of the most celebrated architects of his generation. He is recognized for constructing buildings that acknowledge and understand vernacular histories but create something entirely new. \n  \nAmong his best-known projects is Aurland Lookout\, overlooking the fjords of Norway\, and Fogo Island Inn located off the coast of Newfoundland. The 29-room luxury inn is raised on stilts at one end to prevent disrupting the lichen-covered landscape and to provide visitors with a heightened view of the Atlantic shoreline. Many of Saunders’s projects share a similar trait of partial elevation to intensify the experiential relationship between landscape and built form. \n  \nBorn in Gander\, Newfoundland\, Saunders studied architecture at McGill University in Montreal before moving to Norway and establishing Saunders Architecture in Bergen in 1998. His portfolio includes residential and cultural projects\, national park landmarks and off-grid micro-houses that insert into isolated locations with little to no environmental disruption. The studio has won numerous awards and global accolades for its spectacular structures. It is also the subject of two books\, including Todd Saunders: New Northern Houses\, a lavish monograph featuring 11 residents in Canada and Scandinavia. Written by Dominic Bradbury\, the book will be released in fall 2021 by Thames & Hudson. \n  \nEven with an international reputation and projects located in ten countries\, Todd has kept his firm relatively small\, preferring to focus on a few projects at a time. He collaborates closely with clients to address their unique needs and understand the specifics of a given site. He is also involved in constructing his buildings\, working with local artisans and carpenters to incorporate traditional materials and techniques into his designs. \n  \nIn recent years\, Saunders has focused more purposefully on philanthropic-based architecture that gives back to the community through cultural and economic enrichment. The Illusuak Cultural Centre in Labrador\, Canada\, is one such example\, built by and for the self-governing people of Nunasiavut. The studio is currently working on a visitor center in Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument\, Maine\, expected to reach completion in 2023. \n  \nTodd is a visiting professor at Yale University in New Haven\, Connecticut and Cornell University in Ithaca\, New York\, and has been a jury member on over ten international design competitions\, including the Norwegian National Architecture Prize. In 2020\, he was inducted into the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. \n  \nThis lecture will take place in-person at Schoodic Institute’s Moore Auditorium and remotely via Zoom. \n….. \nSchoodic Institute’s Evening Lecture Series is sponsored by Darling’s Auto Mall. \n \n
