SUMMARY:Project ASCO Volunteer Training at DeWick Farm
DESCRIPTION:Join Schoodic Institute’s Project ASCO research team on July 25\, 2023 from 9:00am to 12:30pm at DeWick Farm (Woolwich\, 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 Kennebec Estuary Land Trust (KELT) for partnering with us to host this volunteer training. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n\n \n

SUMMARY:Project ASCO Volunteer Training at Plummer Point
DESCRIPTION:Join Schoodic Institute’s Project ASCO research team in collaboration with Coastal Rivers Conservation Trust on May 17\, 2023 from 2:00pm – 5:00pm at Plummer Point (South Bristol\, 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! \nIf you have any questions about Project ASCO or this in-person volunteer training event\, please email projectasco@schoodicinstitute.org. \n \nThank you for your interest. Registration has now closed for this volunteer training event. \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

SUMMARY:Science for the Present
DESCRIPTION:When it comes to our climate\, too often our focus is on what has happened in the past or what might happen in the future; however\, communities across the globe are experiencing dramatic changes right now. Here in Acadia\, we are dealing with hotter temperatures\, rising sea level\, and increasing storm frequency and intensity. \nOn July 26th\, join us for a conversation on Science for the Present with National Park Service Director\, Charles F. “Chuck” Sams III\, as our featured guest. \nDuring the lecture\, Director Sams and a panel of early-career science professionals will discuss some of the most pressing climate challenges in our national parks\, and the importance of Indigenous leadership and knowledge as well as conventional science to inform our response to ecological transformation. The panel will be moderated by Andrew Revkin\, environmental journalist and Director with the Earth Institute at Columbia University. \nThe Goldstein Lecture serves to convene and inspire on critical topics for parks\, people\, and the planet. The lecture is named in honor of Alan Goldstein\, an accomplished businessman\, philanthropist\, sailor\, and environmental advocate. Schoodic Institute serves as the nation’s largest Research Learning Center and is a nonprofit partner of Acadia National Park. Chairing Schoodic Institute’s Board of Directors from 2006 to 2018\, Alan remains an active member of the Board. \nCharles F. “Chuck” Sams III – National Park Service\, Director\nCharles F. “Chuck” Sams III was ceremonially sworn in as the 19th director of the National Park Service on Dec. 16\, 2021\, by Interior Secretary Deb Haaland. \nSams is Cayuse and Walla Walla and is an enrolled member of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation in Northeast Oregon\, where he grew up. He also has blood ties to the Cocopah Tribe and Yankton Sioux of Fort Peck. \nSams most recently served as Oregon Governor Kate Brown’s appointee to the Pacific Northwest Power and Conservation Council (NW Council) where he held a position as a council member from March to December of 2021. Prior to joining the NW Council\, he served as executive director for the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation. \nFor more than 25 years\, Sams has worked in tribal and state government\, and in the non-profit natural resource and conservation management field\, with an emphasis on the responsibility of strong stewardship for land preservation for this and future generations. \nSams is a veteran of the U.S. Navy where he served as an intelligence specialist. He holds a Bachelor of Science in business administration from Concordia University and a Master of Legal Studies in Indigenous Peoples Law from the University of Oklahoma School of Law. He lives with his wife\, Lori Lynn (Reinecke) Sams and their youngest daughter in Alexandria\, VA. \nAndrew Revkin – Journalist\, and Director with the Earth Institute at Columbia University\nAndew is one of America’s most honored and experienced environmental journalists and the founding director of the new Initiative on Communication and Sustainability at Columbia University’s Earth Institute. At Columbia he is building programs\, courses\, tools and collaborations bridging  communication gaps between science and society to cut climate risk and boost social and  environmental resilience. \nRevkin has written on climate change for more than 30 years\, reporting from the North Pole to the White House\, the Amazon rain forest to the Vatican – mostly for The New York Times. He has held  positions at National Geographic and Discover Magazine and won the top awards in science journalism multiple times\, along with a Guggenheim Fellowship. Revkin has written acclaimed books on the history of humanity’s relationship with weather\, the changing Arctic\, global warming and the assault on the  Amazon rain forest\, as well as three book chapters on science communication. Two very different films  have been based on his work: “Rock Star” (Warner Brothers\, 2001) and the triple-Golden-Globe-winning 1994 HBO film “The Burning Season\,” based on Revkin’s biography of  slain rain forest defender Chico Mendes. A lifelong musician\, he was a frequent accompanist of Pete Seeger and is a performing songwriter. \nJoin us in-person at Schoodic Institute or remotely via Zoom. \n……… \nNPS Photo \nSchoodic Institute’s Summer Lecture Series is made possible by our generous sponsor\, Darling’s Auto Mall.

SUMMARY:Birds of Spring: Anticipation and Appreciation
DESCRIPTION:The seasonal shift of birds from wintering areas to summer breeding territories is well underway during the month of April.  This 4-part mini-course taught by Seth Benz is offered as a sequential program combining classroom presentations with a field excursion each week.  April\, at our latitude\, is a month of anticipation for returning birds. It is also a time of exodus for species that have spent their winter with us.  By early May some bird species have begun nesting\, others are establishing territories\, and still others are migrating through our neighborhoods.  We’ll immerse ourselves in the bird world for 3 hours each week using slides\, videos\, museum specimens\, select readings and field observations.  While each week is designed to build upon the previous week’s experience\, course content will be accessible enough that each week alone will be a learning experience.  Join the flock\, get in on the joy of anticipating and appreciating Acadia’s bird life.
