2018 STUDY SITES

Acadia National Park is a wonderful living laboratory for the Acadia Bug Project. We were lucky enough to work in four very different habitats: two pond sites and two stream sites, each having its own unique bug community. ​While these were all on park property, some were in slightly less traveled areas. We hope that everyone who volunteered got to see a different part of the park!

Schoodic Beaver Pond

Get out of the MDI crowds and experience the Schoodic Peninsula. This site is off the beaten path in an area of the park that is also off the beaten path.

Gilmore Marsh

 Gilmore Marsh is a beautiful wetland just above the more famous Aunt Betty Pond. Volunteers at this site got the most exercise - there is no parking lot nearby so we w walked about 1.5 miles along the carriage road to access it.

Hunter's Brook

Hunter's Brook is the most family-friendly of the sites. After a short (5 minute) walk down a beautiful trail, we will end up at Hunter's Brook, near where it joins the ocean.

Marshall Brook

On the "quiet side" of Mt. Desert Island, this site includes a stream running through a marsh. This area is being targeted for restoration by the Wild Acadia project.
