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:Wikpiyik naka Welimahaskil Kehkikemuwakon: Lessons from Co-Production Research with Dr. Suzanne Greenlaw
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, September 10th at 7:00pm (in-person or online live via Zoom) for a special evening lecture\, Wikpiyik naka Welimahaskil Kehkikemuwakon: Lessons from Co-Production Research with Dr. Suzanne Greenlaw.\n \nScientists increasingly include Indigenous Knowledge through co-production research to provide “novel” responses to climate change\, deforestation\, species extinction\, and ecosystem degradation. Native American scholars express that indigenous people and their knowledge are perhaps now more important for the planet’s sustainability and our future. While scientists are including Indigenous Knowledge within research\, there is a call for scientists to recognize how their work can negatively impact Indigenous people. During her talk\, Dr. Suzanne Greenlaw will share lessons learned from co-production research with Wabanaki people\, Black ash (wikpiyik/Fraxinus nigra)\, and sweetgrass (welimahaskil/Anthoxanthum nitens).  \nFree and open to the public\, this lecture will take place at Moore Auditorium on the Schoodic Institute campus and online live via Zoom. \nPlease note\, this lecture will not be recorded and will only be available live. \n \nAbout Dr. Suzanne Greenlaw\n\n\n\nSince 2017\, Greenlaw has been working with Wabanaki communities in effort to restore Wabanaki sweetgrass (Anthoxanthum nitens) harvesting within Acadia National Park. In this new role\, Greenlaw will continue to foster relationships between Wabanaki communities and the National Park Service in developing collaborative research to support Wabanaki plant gathering and mobilize Wabanaki-led priorities within Acadia National Park. Her work at Schoodic Institute will focus on Wabanaki-led restoration of both freshwater and coastal wetlands. \nDr. Greenlaw\, a citizen of the Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians\, is an Indigenous ecologist\, writer\, and a traditional harvester focused on supporting Wabanaki land access and re-energizing cultural practices throughout Waponahkik. Her doctoral research at the University of Maine concentrated on creating Wabanaki black ash geospatial tools for emerald ash borer preparedness\, and a gatherer-led sweetgrass harvest and stewardship study to address policy requirements for plant gathering. This work is supporting an emergent shared governance approach for monitoring and management of a culturally important species within Acadia National Park. \n\n\nSchoodic Institute’s 2024 Summer Lecture Series is made possible by our generous sponsor\, Bar Harbor Bank & Trust.

SUMMARY:Sea Level Rise Trail Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Friday\, September 20th from 12pm-1:30pm at the Bar Harbor Oceanarium and Education Center for a bag lunch and tour of the sea level rise trail during the king tide! \nKing tides are the predicted highest high tide and lowest low tide of the year. They are important because they show us what rising seas will look like on the landscape. On Friday\, September 20th\, just after 12pm noon\, Mount Desert Island will experience a king tide\, and we invite you to explore the Oceanarium with us to learn more. \nMany people have questions about whether the January 2024 storms were an anomaly or a sign of what’s to come. When we hear “one foot of sea level rise”\, what does that look like on our coastline? Join Raney Bench from the Mount Desert Island Historical Society\, Jeff Cummming of the Oceanarium\, Catherine Schmitt of Schoodic Institute\, and artist Jennifer Steen Booher for a talk about sea level rise\, last winter’s storms\, and our future. Learn how to measure and mark predicted high tides in places around the island you care about\, and join us in a conversation about coastal resilience and how we can plan for the future. \nBring a bag lunch and wear sturdy shoes for this short walk through the marsh. \nInterested in learning more? Here are some helpful links: \nCoastlines Project \nGulf of Maine King Tides Project \nNews coverage from Mount Desert Islander \n \n

SUMMARY:We Count! Hawk Migration Association of North America and Raptor Migration Monitoring in the Americas with Julie Brown
DESCRIPTION:Join us in celebrating the 30th anniversary of Hawk Watch on Friday\, September 20th with a virtual livestream presentation with Raptor Migration and Programs Director for the Hawk Migration Association of North America (HMANA)\, Julie Brown! Brown will speak about HMNA’s work and the continental network of hawkwatching sites\, why collecting spring and fall migration data is important\, and what we’ve learned about raptor movements and populations. She’ll dive into migration data from the Cadillac Mountain Hawk Watch\, as well as data from across the continent and what it’s showing us about the health of raptor populations. \nJulie Brown is the Raptor Migration and Programs Director at the Hawk Migration Association of North America. Before joining HMANA in 2009\, she migrated throughout the US and tropics working as a field biologist primarily with raptors\, focusing on human impact studies\, migration research\, and behavioral studies. She received her BS in Wildlife Ecology from the University of Maine and received her MS in Conservation Biology from Antioch University New England\, where she studied Peregrine Falcon migration in Costa Rica for her thesis. She lives in New Hampshire with her husband\, whom she met hawkwatching\, and her two bird-loving children\, a flock of chickens\, her dog\, and lots of fruit trees. She is a volunteer counter at the Pack Monadnock Raptor Migration Observatory each fall. \nThis virtual presentation is free and open to the public – registration is required.
