Fox-ABC TV Bangor joined us on a Save Our Summits hike where volunteers hike soil up Acadia's mountains to help with climate-smart restoration efforts. Everybody wins with this amazing project! The soil gets where it needs to be so scientists can do their work creating restoration plots, volunteers and visitors get to hike beautiful Acadia and make a difference, and we're experimenting and learning what works to help our fragile summit vegetation survive. Win-Win-Win! Check it out: https://lnkd.in/es6BYA6Z #acadiasummits #conservation #summitrestoration #combatclimatechange #makingadifference
One in four adults in the United States lives with some form of disability. That means there may be about a million people coming to Acadia each year who need some form of accommodation related to mobility, cognition, hearing, or vision impairments. Thanks to the Diana Davis Spencer Foundation through Friends of Acadia, a wheelchair accessible carriage is available for tours of the park's historic carriage roads. The wheelchair-accessible carriage features a ramp on the back accessible to many types of wheelchairs, and can accommodate several guests.
