SUMMARY:Don’t Fence Us In: New Ideas to Protect Acadia’s Forests feat. Chris Nadeau\, Lauren Gibson\, Jesse Wheeler\, and Lauren Knierim
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our 2025 Summer Lecture Series!\nJoin us in person at Schoodic Institute or online via Zoom on Tuesday\, September 9 at 7:00pm for Don’t Fence Us In: New Ideas to Protect Acadia’s Forests\, our Summer Lecture Series closing event featuring Chris Nadeau\, Ph.D\, Lauren Gibson\, Jesse Wheeler\, and Lauren Knierim.  \nFrom the tiniest seedling bursting through the moss covered floors\, to the chorus of birds at the tops of the tallest trees\, the forests of Acadia National Park are some of the healthiest in the eastern United States. But\, their exceptional health is no accident. A team of forest managers\, scientists\, and local communities have worked diligently for decades to reduce the negative impacts of invasive species. \nDuring this presentation\, you’ll hear four encouraging stories of the ever-evolving strategies to manage invasive species in Acadia’s forests\, and learn how you too can contribute to these efforts. \nChris Nadeau\, Ph.D\, has been a Senior Scientist at Schoodic Institute since 2022. He studies how ecosystems in Acadia National Park are changing and what we can do to ensure they continue to thrive. \nLauren Gibson is Friends of Acadia’s Wild Acadia Coordinator. She works closely with Acadia’s Resource Management Team and partners at Schoodic Institute to coordinate and communicate restoration projects happening in Acadia National Park. \nJesse Wheeler is Acadia National Park’s Vegetation Program Manager. He is responsible for stewarding plant resources at the park including native plant protection\, invasive plant management\, and forest pest monitoring. \nLauren Knierim is Acadia National Park’s 2025 Climate Community Volunteer Ambassador. Her work connects volunteers and community members to science happening in and around Acadia in the hopes of improving ecosystem resiliency in the face of climate change. \n\n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nOur 2025 Summer Lecture Series events are free\, thanks to support from our generous sponsor\, Bar Harbor Bank & Trust.

SUMMARY:Stars Over Schoodic II
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this second offering of ‘Stars Over Schoodic’! \nAs darkness falls over the Schoodic Peninsula\, the Milky Way arches across the sky from horizon to horizon. Late summer’s most prominent constellations are suspended within its pale glow. \nAmateur astronomer Richard Luecke will take you on an indoor\, 50-minute image-enhanced journey along that river of starlight and introduce you to summer’s most prominent constellations. You’ll learn to identify Perseus\, Cassiopeia and Andromeda\, Cygnus the Swan\, and Aquila\, Zeus’s pet eagle. Your journey will end in the constellation Sagittarius\, which marks the heart of the Milky Way Galaxy. It glistens with star clusters and glowing clouds of interstellar gas that even our naked eyes can perceive in the Schoodic’s dark sky. \nWe will meet in Moore Auditorium on Schoodic Institute’s campus from 7:30pm – 8:30pm on Friday\, August 29th. Weather permitting\, we’ll venture outside for a green laser tour (8:30 – 10:00pm)\, where you’ll meet these sky wonders face-to-face – and likely see a few flashing meteors! A large astronomical telescope will provide stunning views of the ET Cluster\, the Great Andromeda Galaxy\, the Dumbbell Nebula and more. Bring binoculars if you have them\, and dress warmer than you’d think necessary!

SUMMARY:Of Asteroids\, Comets\, and Meteors… and Close Encounters II
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this second offering of ‘Of Asteroids\, Comets\, and Meteors… and Close Encounters’! \nThere are more things in our solar system than the eight planets and their moons. Millions of small bodies of rock\, ice and metal – asteroids\, comets and meteors – orbit the Sun. Many are awesome to behold against the dark night sky\, but some are potential threats to our planet. Amateur astronomer Richard Luecke will offer an indoor\, image-enhanced introduction to these celestial neighbors\, how to observe them\, and the risks they pose when their trajectories cross the Earth’s orbit around the sun. \nJoin us in Moore Auditorium on the Schoodic Institute campus from 7:30pm – 8:30pm on Thursday\, August 28th. Weather permitting\, attendees will be invited outdoors for a laser-guided tour of Maine’s stunning night sky and viewing of star clusters\, nebulae and far distant galaxies through a large astronomical telescope (approximately 8:30pm – 10:00pm). Bring binoculars if you have them\, and dress warmer than you’d think necessary. \nSpace is limited!

SUMMARY:Be a Climate Muskox: Fighting Defeatism with Ice Age Resilience feat. Jacquelyn Gill
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our 2025 Summer Lecture Series!\nJoin us in person at Schoodic Institute or online via Zoom on Tuesday\, August 19 at 7:00pm for Be a Climate Muskox: Fighting Defeatism with Ice Age Resilience featuring Dr. Jacquelyn Gill\, Professor of Paleoecology and the Director of the BEAST Lab at the University of Maine. \nClimate change is already reshaping our world. Yet as the impacts accelerate\, global action continues to lag behind the scale of the crisis. This growing mismatch between urgency and response has fueled a rising sense of climate despair. In this hopeful talk\, paleoecologist Dr. Jacquelyn Gill traces the evolution of the climate conversation—from early warnings to the emotional turning point of 2018\, when public discourse began to shift toward anxiety and even doom. \nBut what if we looked to the past to guide our response to an uncertain future? Enter the muskox: a shaggy Ice Age survivor and powerful symbol of collective\, justice-driven resilience. We’ll explore why being a climate muskox can help us transition from grief and despair to action\, from the world-saving impact of the Montreal Protocol to recent climate victories led by youth in the courts. \nDr. Jacquelyn Gill is an internationally recognized paleoecologist and multiple award-winning science communicator. She is a Professor of Paleoecology and the Director of the BEAST Lab at the University of Maine. In addition to her passion for research and teaching\, Dr. Gill is also dedicated to sharing science with the public. She was the co-creator of one of the first climate podcasts Warm Regards\, as well as the forthcoming show Jax & Phoebe Make a Planet.

SUMMARY:No Time to Wait: Science Organizations as the New Adaptation Leaders feat. Doug Parsons
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our 2025 Summer Lecture Series!\nJoin us in person at Schoodic Institute or online via Zoom on Tuesday\, July 8 at 7:00pm for No Time to Wait: Science Organizations as the New Adaptation Leaders featuring Doug Parsons\, Director of America Adapts Media and host of America Adapts – The Climate Change Podcast. \nDoug Parsons is the Director of America Adapts Media and host of America Adapts – The Climate Change Podcast.\nAs the federal government steps back from climate leadership and science comes under increasing attack\, the role of science organizations has never been more critical. At the local level\, these groups are essential in not just advancing climate adaptation but also creating widespread awareness of its urgency. Too often\, adaptation is overlooked in climate discussions\, yet it is vital for protecting communities and ecosystems. In this talk\, Doug Parsons\, host of America Adapts – The Climate Change Podcast\, will explore how research institutions can lead the way in bridging the gap between science\, policy\, and public understanding. With real-world examples and insights from his global storytelling\, Doug will highlight why now is the time for science organizations to step up\, ensuring that adaptation becomes a central focus in the climate conversation. \nDoug Parsons is the Director of America Adapts Media and host of America Adapts – The Climate Change Podcast. A recognized leader in climate adaptation\, Doug has worked at the intersection of science communication\, policy\, and media for over a decade. He has traveled the world telling stories of adaptation\, highlighting the people\, policies\, and innovations shaping our climate future. His career includes roles with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the National Park Service\, as well as adaptation work in Australia. Doug is a sought-after speaker\, consultant\, and storyteller\, helping organizations and audiences understand the urgency and opportunities in climate adaptation.

SUMMARY:Science for Natural Resource Stewardship with Dr. Ray Sauvajot
DESCRIPTION:The Key Role of Partnerships and Collaboration in National Parks\nJoin us Wednesday\, October 9th from 7:00pm – 8:30pm for the 2024 Acadia National Park Science Symposium evening lecture\, featuring keynote speaker Ray Sauvajot\, Ph.D.\, Associate Director for Natural Resource Stewardship and Science for the National Park Service. \nDuring his presentation\, Dr. Ray Sauvajot will highlight some of the major natural resource challenges and concerns facing the National Park System and how our response to these challenges requires embracing scientific partnerships and working together at broad scales. He will discuss climate change\, landscape and seascape conservation\, and the critical role that parks play as catalysts for stewardship solutions and collaborative science – a collaboration that is essential for the National Park Service to succeed in its conservation and preservation mission. \nABOUT RAY SAUVAJOT\nDr. Ray Sauvajot serves as Associate Director for Natural Resource Stewardship and Science for the National Park Service (NPS)\, where he provides leadership and direction for natural resource management and science programs of the NPS. As Associate Director\, Ray oversees national programs in biology\, air and water resources\, climate change response\, geology\, natural sounds and night skies\, environmental quality and compliance\, ecological inventory and monitoring\, and science communication. Ray leads a diverse team of scientists\, policy experts\, planners\, program managers\, administrators\, and technicians at offices in Washington\, D.C.\, Colorado\, and other locations to help advance the mission of the NPS. Ray has served in positions with the NPS for over 30 years and has also held adjunct faculty appointments in biology\, ecology\, and environmental science at UC Berkeley\, UC Los Angeles\, and California State University Northridge. Ray received a B.A. degree in biology from UC San Diego (1987) and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees (1993\, 1997) in ecology from UC Davis. \nABOUT THE 2024 ACADIA NATIONAL PARK SCIENCE SYMPOSIUM\n\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. You can learn more about the science symposium here. \nThe theme of this year’s symposium is 25 Years of Impactful Research in Acadia National Park. The symposium will highlight some of the most influential science\, science communication\, and education that has happened in Acadia National Park since the start of the Research Learning Center (RLC) 25 years ago. In 2000\, the National Park Service began working with community members to create an RLC on the campus of the former Navy Base in Winter Harbor. The goal of Schoodic Institute (Acadia’s Research Learning Center) is to help grow science in national parks and better connect science with management\, education\, and communication. Since the establishment of Schoodic Institute\, the amount of annual research in the park has increased more than threefold. This year’s science symposium will highlight some of the most influential examples of research\, education\, and communication that has happened over that time. \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. Please note that there will be overnight accommodations available. Lunch will be included in registration\, as well as coffee and morning snacks.

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:Nature's Lessons on Life\, Loss\, Legacy\, and Restorative Wonder with Margie Patlak
DESCRIPTION:Thank you for your interest! We have reached maximum capacity for in-person attendance\, but we encourage you to join us virtually via Zoom. Please register below for the meeting link.\nJoin us in person at Schoodic Institute or online via Zoom on Tuesday\, August 13\, 2024 for Nature’s Lessons on Life\, Loss\, Legacy\, and Restorative Wonder\, a special evening lecture and welcome reception with award-winning science writer\, photographer\, and Corea\, Maine resident Margie Patlak. \nBeginning at 6:00pm before the lecture\, we invite you to join us for a reception as we welcome Margie to Schoodic Institute. During the reception\, you’ll enjoy complimentary wine\, cheese\, and conversation with Margie to learn more about her and her work. Margie’s books will be available for purchase before and after the lecture\, providing a perfect opportunity to take home a piece of the evening. During the lecture (beginning at 7:00pm)\, Margie will share what the nature in Maine taught her about life\, loss\, legacy\, and restorative wonder. She will also showcase some of Maine’s more wondrous scenery with her photos. \nWithin a short span of time\, Patlak lost her mother and sole sibling. Reeling from those losses\, she returned to live in Down East Maine\, where she spent her childhood summers. While in mourning and writing about the wilder environment she experienced at her new home\, Patlak uncovered many lessons from nature. For example\, the three generations of monarch butterflies that it takes to make their way from Mexico to Maine taught her the value of what is passed on from generation to generation\, and the dramatic tides taught her how fleeting time is and the need to make the most of it. Patlak will share several other vital lessons she and others have learned from nature about life\, loss\, legacy\, and restorative wonder–lessons that helped her personally heal from her losses. Many of these were recounted in Patlak’s award-winning memoir More Than Meets the Eye: Exploring Nature and Loss on the Coast of Maine\, which was published in 2021. She will illustrate the talk with her photos of stunning Maine scenery that appear in her more recent book Wild and Wondrous: Nature’s Artistry on the Coast of Maine. \nMargie Patlak is a science writer\, memoirist and photographer. Her memoir More Than Meets the Eye: Exploring Nature and Loss on the Coast of Maine was given the “Outstanding Book” award by the American Society for Journalists and Authors in 2022. Best-selling author Sy Montgomery called it a “beautiful and surprising book in which bereavement gives way to awe.” Her photobook Wild and Wondrous: Nature’s Artistry on the Coast of Maine\, which was published in July of 2023\, is “not just a book\, but a stunning work of art that transports the reader to the magical shores of Maine\,” award-winning nature photographer Steven Mandel noted. Patlak’s personal essays and articles have appeared in a number of newspapers\, magazines\, and literary journals including The Los Angeles Times\, The Philadelphia Inquirer\, The Washington Post\, Discover magazine\, Hippocampus\, JuxtaProse and many others. Her photographs have appeared in solo and group exhibits in Maine and are in private collections. She has degrees in Botany and Environmental Studies and divides her time between Philadelphia\, Pennsylvania and Corea\, Maine. \n\nSchoodic Institute’s 2024 Summer Lecture Series is made possible by our generous sponsor\, Bar Harbor Bank & Trust.

SUMMARY:A World on the Wing: The Global Odyssey of Migratory Birds with Scott Weidensaul (CANCELLED)
DESCRIPTION:*NOTICE* We are deeply regretful to inform you that due to the pending federal government shutdown\, this lecture has been cancelled. Thank you for your tremendous interest in this event\, and we look forward to an opportunity to host Scott in Acadia in 2024 and share in his passion and odysseys with our winged friends.\n\nJoin us on Tuesday\, October 3rd at 7:00pm for a special evening lecture\, A World on the Wing: The Global Odyssey of Migratory Birds\, with Scott Weidensaul. \nEven as scientists make astounding discoveries about the navigational and physiological feats that enable migratory birds to cross immense oceans or fly above the highest mountains\, go weeks without sleep or remain in unbroken flight for months at a stretch\, humans have brought many migrants to the brink. Based on his bestselling new book “A World on the Wing\,” author and researcher Scott Weidensaul takes you around the globe — with researchers in the lab probing the limits of what migrating birds can do\, to the shores of the Yellow Sea in China\, the remote mountains of northeastern India where tribal villages saved the greatest gathering of falcons on the planet\, and the Mediterranean\, where activists and police are battling bird poachers — to learn how people are fighting to understand and save the world’s great bird migrations. \nScott Weidensaul is the author of more than two dozen books on natural history\, including the Pulitzer Prize finalist “Living on the Wind” and his latest\, the New York Times bestseller “A World on the Wing.” Weidensaul is a contributing editor for Audubon and writes for a variety of other publications\, including Bird Watcher’s Digest and Living Bird. He is a Fellow of the American Ornithological Society and an active field researcher\, studying saw-whet owl migration for more than 25 years\, as well as winter hummingbirds in the East\, bird migration in Alaska\, and the winter movements of snowy owls through Project SNOWstorm\, which he co-founded. A native of Pennsylvania\, he and his wife now live in New Hampshire. \nSchoodic Institute’s Summer Lecture Series is made possible by our generous sponsors\, including Darling’s\, Bar Harbor Bank & Trust\, and Wallace Events. \n \n \n \n  \n

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:Wild Mushrooms in Maine: Entering a World of Wonder and Ecological Treasure with Greg Marley
DESCRIPTION:Join us Tuesday\, September 13\, 2022 at 7 PM for a free evening lecture with Greg Marley\, author of Mushrooms for Health: Medicinal Secrets of Northeastern Fungi\, and the award-winning Chanterelle Dreams\, Amanita Nightmares: The Love\, Lore\, and Mystic of Mushrooms.  Mushrooms in the wild bring out a strong range of emotions and interests. Today many people seek them out as a locally foraged source of delicious and nutritious food or to support optimum health. Others treat them with the caution learned in childhood\, assuming all wild mushrooms must be poisonous and seek to rid their yards of the colorful fruit. Beyond the association with food or poison\, the fungi that produce mushrooms play an invaluable role in the ecology of our forests and fields. The very health of our plant communities depend upon ongoing dynamic relationships with resident fungi. Join Maine mycologist and author Greg Marley for a romp through the fascinating world of Maine’s mushrooms. Add your curiosity\, your questions and an open mind. \nGreg Marley has been collecting\, studying\, eating\, growing and teaching mushrooms for over 45 years. He has spread his love of mushrooms to hundreds through walks\, talks and classes held across the New England over the past 30 years. As a volunteer mushroom identification consultant to Poison Centers across New England since 2001\, he provides expertise in mushroom poisoning cases. When not mushrooming\, Marley works as a mental health clinician and behavioral health consultant specializing in suicide prevention. \nAttend in-person at Moore Auditorium on the Schoodic Institute campus\, or remotely via Zoom. \nJoin Zoom meeting: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/85319449270?pwd=Kzdsdko5NG54UWhKaDdxeCt5cHc4QT09 \n……… \nSchoodic Institute’s Summer Lecture Series is made possible by our generous sponsor\, Darling’s Auto Mall.
