SUMMARY:2025 Acadia National Park Science Symposium (POSTPONED)
DESCRIPTION:Unfortunately\, due to the lapse in federal government appropriations\, the 2025 Acadia National Park Science Symposium has been postponed.\nAlthough the current government shutdown presents many challenges\, especially with the absence of our valued partners at Acadia National Park\, our work at Schoodic Institute continues. We remain committed to advancing science in and beyond Acadia\, and we look forward to reconnecting soon. \nPlease stay tuned to our website and social media for future updates on the Science Symposium\, as well as our science. Thank you for your understanding and support. \nJoin us on Thursday\, October 16 from 9:00am – 3:30pm (in-person at Schoodic Institute or online via Zoom) for a full day of symposium events\, including speaker sessions\, networking opportunities\, poster sessions\, and lunch at Schooner Commons. \nHosted by Schoodic Institute and the National Park Service\, the Acadia National Park Science Symposium provides a forum to learn about science taking place in the region and to interact and build collaborations with scientists\, educators\, students\, park staff\, and others working in a range of fields. The theme of this year’s symposium is wildlife. \nYou can learn more about the science symposium here. \nView Speaker List\nThe symposium will take place in-person at Moore Auditorium on the Schoodic Institute campus (Winter Harbor\, ME) and online via Zoom. This virtual option is open to speakers and attendees alike. Your registration for in-person attendance includes morning coffee and pastries\, lunch\, full access to our morning and afternoon poster sessions and speaker sessions\, and more.

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:Using Managed Relocation to Advance Climate Adaptation: Benefits\, Risks\, and Barriers
DESCRIPTION:In this one-hour discussion\, panelists from research and management backgrounds will consider key issues in the use of managed relocation as a climate adaptation strategy. Potential benefits\, risks\, and hurdles to implementing this technique will be discussed to provide scientific and practical information that will promote a better understanding of this management approach and reduce impediments to employing it. This interactive session will provide audience members with ample opportunities to contribute to the conversation. Registration information for this panel discussion will be available here shortly. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Panelists\n\n\n\n\n\nJenica Allen is a faculty member in the Department of Environmental Conservation at UMass Amherst. Peter Clark is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Vermont. Jacquelyn Gill is a Professor of Paleoecology and Plant Ecology at the University of Maine. Chris Nadeau is a Climate Change Adaptation Scientist at Schoodic Institute.
