SUMMARY:History Lecture Series at Woodlawn: Historic Acadia National Park and the Hancock County Trustees of Public Reservations (FULL)
DESCRIPTION:Join the Woodlawn Museum and Catherine Schmitt\, Science Communication Specialist at Schoodic Institute\, for the story of how Acadia National Park came to be and the role played by the Hancock County Trustees. \nCatherine Schmitt\, author of Historic Acadia National Park\, will present the story of how the forests and shorelines of Mount Desert Island inspired the creation of one of the world’s first land trusts\, including the Hancock County Trustees of Public Reservations\, which accepted the donations of land that eventually became Acadia National Park. \nThis event will take place on April 1\, 2024 from 6:00pm – 7:00pm at the Woodlawn Museum (19 Black House Dr\, Ellsworth\, ME 04605).

SUMMARY:Maine Land Conservation Conference
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, Maine Coast Heritage Trust presents the annual Maine Land Conservation Conference for and with Maine’s robust land conservation community. This year\, the event will be held in person at Mt. Ararat Middle School & Orion Performing Arts Center in Topsham\, ME and will feature a keynote address\, Weaving Wisdoms: Introducing the New NSF Science Technology Center for Braiding Indigenous Knowledge and Science\, by Dr. Bonnie Newsom. \nCatherine Schmitt\, Science Communication Specialist at Schoodic Institute\, and Suzanne Greenlaw\, Postdoctoral Scientist – Indigenous Science at Schoodic Institute\, will be featured presenters. Learn more below. \nTogether\, let’s create a more inclusive language of conservation\nDespite good intentions\, land conservation professionals can still choose language that excludes people\, inflicts harm\, and can perpetuate some of the very systemic injustices they want to redress. In this workshop\, participants will learn how the vocabulary\, sentences\, and framing of land conservation can perpetuate white supremacy\, racism\, classism\, ableism\, heteronormativity\, ethnocentrism\, etc.\, as well as ways to re-word and re-frame communications to be more welcoming and inclusive. After a brief presentation\, participants will work collaboratively to identify jargon and exclusive or problematic language in their own work. Then\, in small groups\, participants will identify and present creative and original alternatives that better support their communication goals while contributing to conservation for all. \nPresenter: Catherine Schmitt\, Science Communication Specialist \nWabanaki Plant Gathering in Acadia National Park: Mobilizing Indigenous Knowledge to restore traditional sweet grass harvesting \nIndigenous communities in North America are actively engaged in reestablishing plant gathering rights on federal landscapes\, including those of the U.S. National Park Service (NPS). Suzanne Greenlaw will present on the interdisciplinary work to restore Wabanaki sweetgrass gathering within Acadia National Park. She will report on a gather-led harvest study and stewardship approach\, cultural protocol agreement\, and Indigenous developed interpretation. This work is a collaborative effort to address NPS policy requirements and create an emergent shared governance approach within monitoring and management of a culturally important species.    \nPresented by Suzanne Greenlaw\, Ph.D.  \n  \nFor more information and to register\, click here.

SUMMARY:Schoodic Spring Birding Adventure (CANCELED due to rain)
DESCRIPTION:Unfortunately\, this event has been canceled due to forecasted rain. Thank you for your interest\, and we hope to see you for another event at Schoodic Institute this season.\nCome one\, come all! Join Schoodic Institute at Acadia National Park on Saturday\, April 20\, 2024 for a free\, self-guided birding adventure along the Schoodic Peninsula. Our meeting spot will be the gatehouse at the entrance to Schoodic Institute (in Winter Harbor\, ME). Drop by the gatehouse anytime between 8am and 12pm to enjoy refreshments\, check out bird identification guides\, binoculars and other equipment\, and play some fun games to help introduce new birders to the activity. Then\, branch out on your own to explore the peninsula and find some cool spring birds. Games will be played\, conversations will be had\, and birds will (hopefully) be plentiful! \nThis event will engage birders of all ages and experience-levels to learn more about the birds of Acadia\, and it is free of charge.\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.

SUMMARY:Journeys in Listening: Birds and More from Acadia and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Join Mid-Coast Audobon for a journey in listening to wildlife audio recordings from Acadia and beyond\, and the stories of adventure and discovery behind them. Laura Sebastianelli is a naturalist with a passion for listening and sound recording. In 2017\, she established “Schoodic Notes: Bird Sounds of Acadia\,” a collaborative project with Schoodic Institute’s Bird Ecology program. Along with the help of a few other natural sound recordists\, the project has archived over 1200 recordings of Acadia’s birds. \nLaura is also a seasoned educator and wildlife technician. She has long sought opportunities to empower others to develop their knowledge\, skills\, and experience to understand\, connect with\, and serve the natural world. She holds a Master of Science in Ecological Teaching and Learning from Lesley University in Cambridge\, MA. She created and ran natural and cultural history programs for adults and families through University of Maine Cooperative Extension at Tanglewood 4-H Camp and Learning Center\, the National Park Service\, and many other organizations. She has also conducted track surveys of Canada Lynx via snowmobile\, and howling surveys in search of Gray Wolf\, in Maine’s North Woods. Partially retired these days\, she spends most of her free time exploring the natural world\, and especially recording natural sounds. \nThis will be a free online presentation hosted by the Camden Public Library.

SUMMARY:Landscape of Change: Exploring the Past to Build a Resilient Future
DESCRIPTION:Join Raney Bench\, Executive Director of the Mount Desert Island Historical Society\, to learn how historical records can shed light on our changing climate. \nTo understand how climate change affects the landscape\, we need to look to the past. Our ancestors documented the natural world around them in stories\, reports\, journals\, diaries\, and letters\, which are cared for in the collections of history museums and libraries. Increasingly\, scientists are pulling observations and data from historic records to get a clearer picture of the natural world of the past to understand how the present is changing. \nThis program is hosted by Ellsworth Historical Society\, Ellsworth Public Library\, Mount Desert Island Historical Society\, and Green Ellsworth.
