Acadia National Park

In the latest effort to address workforce housing shortages, Acadia National Park officials announced the construction of 28 beds at Harden Farms in Bar Harbor.

The program is the first of its kind on the East Coast, and will include courses on wilderness rescue, mountain skills and emergency medicine.

A new report from the U.S. Interior Department shows that visitation to Acadia National Park and Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument generated $752 million to the Maine economy last year.

The citizen science project records migratory raptor sightings, contributing to an international database.

Accessing remote parts of the mountains to replenish thousands of pounds of lost soil is a major challenge.

Friends of Acadia has announced a new campaign to build workforce housing for Acadia National Park's seasonal staff.

There were fewer visits to Acadia National Park again last year, according to preliminary numbers from the National Park Service.

The solar panels are expected to move Acadia toward net-zero emissions by generating more than 50% of the new facility's energy use.

The National Park Service is taking steps to allow tribes in Maine to harvest sweetgrass from land inside Acadia National Park.

If the government does close, the impacts will more closely resemble those felt during a 16-day shutdown back in 2013, when about 40% of federal workers and military members in Maine and across the country were furloughed, union officials said.
