Acadia National Park
Bar Harbor
Explore Acadia's Coast & Interior to Study Habitats, Hidden Wildlife & Changing Ecosystems
Millions of visitors come to Acadia each year to see its dramatic granite coastline and enjoy the historic charm of Bar Harbor. But very few have access to this rare and deeply meaningful experience of the park. Join researchers at field sites on the Schoodic Peninsula and in protected habitats out of public view as we assess impacts of a changing climate on Acadia’s ecosystems. Search spruce forests for lobster shells carried inland by foxes and mink. Examine wildlife camera images to see who moves through the woods after dark. Visit rare plant communities that may help species persist as temperatures rise, and explore rugged shorelines where sea, wind and salt sculpt classic coastal vistas. Between fieldwork forays, watch the sunrise from Cadillac Mountain, wander fog-shrouded headlands, and cruise the rocky coast in search of puffins and seabirds.
