What
do we do?
-
We develop and
maintain a foundation of knowledge about the features
and values i.e., park ecosystems, cultural heritage,
and visitor experiences that the National Park
Service is charged with protecting at Acadia National
Park.
-
We facilitate
research to detect and clarify threats to natural and
cultural resources and test alternative management actions
to help resolve problems or issues.
-
We support research
and conduct monitoring about visitor use to inform park
managers and the public about the quality of visitor experiences
at Acadia National Park.
-
We monitor the
condition of park natural and cultural resources to learn
about their status and health.
-
We acquire, curate,
and interpret historic objects/documents and natural history
specimens to preserve the history of the natural and cultural
resources and administration of Acadia National Park and
Saint Croix Island International Historic Site.
-
We manage information
(tabular data, digital maps, etc.) so that it is safeguarded,
accessible, and available for park managers, scientists,
and interested members of the public.
- We assure that
all park activities are in compliance with applicable federal,
state, and local laws.
- We protect the
scenic, ecological, and cultural values of lands adjacent
to the park by collaborating with landowners, local communities,
and land trusts to establish, monitor, and enforce the terms
of conservation easements on private properties.
