Four study locations
Schoodic Beaver Pond
Gilmore Marsh
Gilmore Marsh is a beautiful wetland just above the more famous Aunt Betty Pond. This is the site where you will get the most exercise - there is no parking lot nearby so we will be walking along the carriage road to access it.
Be aware: we will be walking on the carriage road to the sampling location, approximately 1.5 miles (30 minutes, low uphill grade on walk back). Make sure you pack water and food into a comfortable backpack, wear sturdy shoes. |
Hunter's Brook
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.
