2 Message from the Chairman and President Dear Friends,

“We’re almost to the water!” the young park visitor shouted to her friend, and the pair took off sprinting toward Jordan Pond…only to crash to a halt, awestruck by a placid loon just a dozen feet from shore. At Friends of Acadia, 2014 was a little like that—characterized by building momentum and tremendous anticipation for what’s to come, but also great appreciation for important moments right now.

Acadia is on the upswing and interest in this special place has never been higher. Last year’s recognition in national media and accompanying record-breaking statistics—for categories from park visitation and Island Explorer ridership to number of trail crew personnel—told just part of the story. Our organization itself grew significantly, achieving a new milestone of more than 4,000 members and growing our year-round staff. We supported more youth internships (see page 10) and initiated new programs including important conservation work at the Cadillac Summit (page 3) and Cromwell Brook Watershed (page 8). The approaching centennial of Acadia National Park inspired increasing numbers of businesses, nonprofits, and individuals from Acadia’s surrounding communities to plan their own contribution to that yearlong, grassroots celebration (page 11). Perhaps most importantly, we started and continued a variety of conversations with park management about their vision for Acadia’s second century, so that together we can identify priorities and develop programs to care for this magnificent place for many years and generations to come. Our collaborations with the park have never been stronger and our impact never greater.

We couldn’t do this important work without you, our members, donors, and volunteers. A strong fundraising year, crowned by the 25th annual Benefit Auction, enabled FOA to make $1.4 million in conservation grants and also finish the year solidly in the black. We are turning your investment in Friends of Acadia into meaningful benefit for Acadia. Stay tuned—great things are happening and even more is to come! Nesting loon on Upper Hadlock Pond With appreciation,

Edward L. Samek, Chairman of the Board David MacDonald, President and CEO

1 “The challenge of being a Summit Steward is to convey the fascinating history of the mountain along with the why—and how— of preserving this place for generations to come.” Abby Seymour, Cadillac Summit Steward Protecting the Rooftop of Acadia Every national park has its iconic spots, and at Acadia it’s hard to get more iconic than the summit of Cadillac Mountain. Accessible by car via a curving historic roadway and by foot via hiking trails that converge on its pink granite dome, it is the highest point on the Atlantic seaboard between Labrador and Brazil and offers magnificent views of a glaciated coastal and island landscape. Layer upon layer of cultural and natural history give the summit greater significance than many of the view-seekers may realize. But up to 6,000 visitors per day during the busy summer months can strain the capacity of the small summit parking area and their collective footfalls have degraded the fragile soil and alpine vegetation in the 83 years since the Summit Road opened.

Seeking to protect this keystone of the Acadia Experience, Friends of Acadia posted a team of three educators/stewards/researchers to the top of Cadillac for seven weeks last fall. Made possible by the Sustainable Acadia Fund and the generous paddle raise bidders of the 25th Annual Benefit, the Cadillac Summit Stewards interacted with visitors at the summit—answering questions, providing directions, sharing the historical and natural significance of Cadillac Mountain, explaining Leave No Trace (LNT) principles, and taking family snapshots. They recorded patterns of visitor behavior and auto traffic, to help the park improve management plans for the summit. And they blocked off social paths, installed LNT signs, re-blazed hiking trails, and removed 23 visitor-built cairns, all to protect sensitive alpine vegetation by helping hikers stay on-trail. Summit Steward Kristin Dillon installs an educational sign near the summit of Cadillac Mountain. All told, the three were a friendly and effective presence at the rooftop of Acadia, assisting and engaging park visitors in the protection of this remarkable area. On the basis of that success, a new team of Summit Stewards plus a project coordinator will continue the program Facing page: The southern slope of Cadillac during the summer and fall of 2015.

3 “Shown on path maps as early as the mid-1880s, the Asticou & Jordan Pond Path is an important trail indeed.” Gary Stellpflug, Acadia National Park Trails Foreman Restoring the Acadia of Yesteryear Walking or riding on Acadia’s trails and pathways can feel like stepping back in time. We travel the same routes—past the same vistas, up the same cut-stone stairways—that the rusticators used more than a century ago. But time and use can take a toll, and until the Acadia Trails Forever and Carriage Road endowments were established by Friends of Acadia, these pathways were not fully maintained. The year 2014 marked 15 years of Acadia Trails Forever (the carriage road endowment will see its 20th year in 2015); over that time park crews—aided by FOA volunteers and the Acadia Youth Conservation Corps—have combined ageless aesthetics and modern techniques to restore the former glory of Acadia’s beloved path systems.

First mapped by members of the Champlain Society in the early 1880s, by 1900 the Asticou & Jordan Pond Path served as the major pedestrian thoroughfare between Northeast Harbor, Jordan Pond, and other villages on the eastern side of Mount Desert Island; it offers a classic example of the generally level and broad walking paths of that period. In addition, it features an extensive set of stone steps and multiple stream crossings. Many hundreds of hours of work—from examining historic photos of bridges and culverts to gently mixing local gravel into the top layer of surfacing—has returned this historic trail to better-than pristine condition. Although not officially a Village Connector Trail, the last section of the path lies outside park boundaries and was restored through an agreement between FOA and adjoining landowners with funding from Nature Valley and the National Parks Conservation A Friends of Acadia volunteer crew pauses at the Asticou Map House as they help to Association; it provides another wonderful option for visitors seeking to travel into the park using their own two feet. restore the Asticou & Jordan Pond Path.

While trails wear down, the carriage roads tend to grow in. In 2014 the park initiated a major effort to restore scenic vistas Facing page: Asticou Brook obscured by decades of tree growth. The park’s vista crew restored 41 historic carriage road vistas on Day Mountain and the west side of the Around Mountain Loop, using tools from chainsaws to historic documentation and a sense of artistry. FOA volunteers and the AYCC provided much-needed help managing the cut vegetation, allowing the specialized staff to work most efficiently. The work at Day Mountain took place in collaboration with the park’s Exotic Plant Management Team, which is supported through a partnership with Canon U.S.A.

5 “The desire which man feels to fix his eyes long upon the star-spangled vault, is a divine passion which transports him…. In the splendor of the night his spirit is intoxicated with the glow which the fires above shed upon him.” Franz-Valéry-Marie Cumont Spangling the Splendid Vault

The starry night sky, a source of inspiration and wonder since the dawn of humanity, has been gradually fading. In most American cities only the very brightest stars are visible, if any—light pollution from street lights, home security lights, gas stations, and more has erased them from our sight. As people realize what they are losing, dark night skies are being recognized as an important natural resource. Acadia National Park offers some of the best stargazing within a day’s drive of the Northeast urban corridor, and many first-time visitors are awed by their first-ever view of the Milky Way here. Since 2009 the Acadia Night Sky Festival has helped to raise awareness of light pollution—nearly 5,000 people attended the festival in 2014—and several of Acadia’s surrounding communities have been inspired to enact night sky ordinances, which require that new outdoor lighting use fixtures designed to cast light only where it is needed and limit “skyglow.” Still, older light installations impact Acadia’s skies—including some within the park itself. At Blackwoods Campground, Friends of Acadia partnered with the park, Yawkey Foundations, and Musco Lighting to replace 44 outdoor lights at the campground entrance station, restrooms, and amphitheater with dark-sky-friendly fixtures. As a bonus, the new fixtures are LEDs, which will reduce the park’s energy consumption. Seawall Campground will receive the same treatment in 2015; more than 50 new light fixtures will be installed there. This work will complete an important step in Acadia’s effort to achieve International Dark Sky Park status, defined as “a location of exceptional nighttime beauty, dark skies education, and preservation of the nighttime environment” by the International Dark-Sky Association. A “before” photo from Blackwoods Because that status is also affected by Acadia’s surrounding communities, in spring of 2015 Friends of Acadia and Acadia National Park Campground shows how the old light supported a night-sky intern from Waynflete Academy, who focused on lighting and lighting ordinances in Acadia’s surrounding fixtures directed light toward the sky and made star-viewing difficult. communities. She inventoried light fixtures along Route 3 in Bar Harbor and took other steps to explore how the planned 2016 road reconstruction there can help to preserve Acadia’s celestial beauty.

7 Accomplishments WATERSHED WORK AT CROMWELL BROOK The Wild Acadia watershed-based natural resource project being piloted in the Sieur de Monts area took an essential early step in 2014. A consultant, hired by FOA, inventoried the entire length of Cromwell Brook—through park lands, into the Town of Bar Harbor, and down to the ocean at Cromwell Harbor. She used GPS and digital photography to map and document the course of the brook and any problem areas like eroding stream banks or invasive plants, completing a full baseline inventory of conditions along the brook. Earlier in the season, a wildlife intern co-sponsored by FOA and College of the Atlantic completed a fish assessment and non-native fish survey; he also collected information on behaviors of deer, bats, and other mammals in the watershed using game cameras and other tools. ANP resource managers will use all of this data to track improvements throughout the project.

$20 MILLION OF IMPACT Friends of Acadia’s grantmaking history passed a major milestone early in 2014, when total cumulative grants to Acadia National Park and the surrounding communities surpassed $20 million. FOA has come a long way since its first donation, in 1988, of $4,000 for the restoration of Bear Island Light. FOA gave more than $1.4 million in 2014 to programs in and around the park.

ACADIA WINTER TRAILS A brilliant mix of epic winter conditions, dedicated volunteer groomers and park staff, and the generous Elizabeth R. Bright Endowment provided outstanding cross-country skiing conditions for thousands of visitors to Acadia during the 2014–2015 winter season. A group of eleven volunteers put in more than 400 hours to groom ski routes on the carriage roads, including three new volunteers who completed training. Making the program more efficient, the park led trainings in safety and snowmobile engine mechanics and, as in past years, park maintenance staff kept the grooming equipment purring. The cross-country ski community was unstinting in its praise for the program. ACADIA LAND LEGACY Maine Coast Heritage Trust and Friends of Acadia donated their remaining land holdings at Lower Hadlock Pond to Acadia National Park in April of 2014. The entire project—approximately 37 acres worth approximately $3 million—was accomplished in phases to maximize funding from the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF). Friends of Acadia’s donors were instrumental in funding the initial purchase of this property, which helped to protect Northeast Harbor’s drinking water supply, preserve several important trail corridors, and enable the Mount Desert Water Company to upgrade their infrastructure. The LWCF dollars that were brought to the project will allow FOA and MCHT to reinvest in additional land protection projects inside park boundaries.

RIDING THE ISLAND EXPLORER On June 30th, 2014, Acadia-area resident Marisa Gray disembarked from the Sand Beach route at the Bar Harbor Village Green to the news that she was the 5-millionth Island Explorer passenger; the following month the service was named to Down East Magazine’s “Best of Maine” list in the “Community” category. Over the course of the summer, the popular bus service broke several records including the first-ever 9,000-rider day. All of these milestones point to the increasing importance of the Island Explorer to a park whose roads and parking lots often overflow with increasing numbers of visitors each year.

From core programs like the Acadia Youth Conservation Corps and Ridge Runners, to innovative teams like the Acadia Youth Tech Team and Cadillac Summit Stewards, to specialized positions like the Raptor, Wild Gardens, Environmental Compliance, and Fish & Wildlife interns, these teens and young adults contributed to park conservation first- hand and saw the positive impact they could have on this place.

CHANGING ACADIA, CHANGING LIVES Friends of Acadia worked with a consultant to determine whether participating in an internship like the Acadia Youth Technology Team truly impacts the interns’ lives. By surveying the AYTT members, a control group of their peers, and a group of adults, the consultant found that participation in an internship like the AYTT gives young people a deeper understanding of Acadia National Park as an institution (as opposed to the park as a place), which correlates with improved park or environmental stewardship behaviors as adults.

10 CENTENNIAL FILM FROM MDI TEENS Through donations of funds and professional video equipment, Friends of Acadia helped support the development of a youth-produced film about Acadia from the perspective of students at Mount Desert Island High School. Envisioned as a “by youth for youth” centennial project to both explore and cement the bond between the park and local teens, the film is being created by students in a special multi-year course at the high school established in collaboration with Acadia National Park. With a documentary filmmaker serving as an advisor, the students started by learning the basics of filming, editing, scripting, and musical scoring; they are now working to write screenplays and shoot footage of Acadia throughout the seasons.

CENTENNIAL UPSWING Acadia’s 2016 centennial has the potential to benefit the park for many years—by deepening the good relationship between park and communities, by inspiring new levels of stewardship, by launching best-practice projects for the care of Acadia’s ecosystems, and by re-engaging the nation in our collective commitment to our national parks. To achieve this, Friends of Acadia and the Acadia Centennial Task Force worked in 2014 to raise enthusiasm and public awareness for the celebration. The Acadia Centennial Logo, designed by artist Catherine Breer, was adopted as the visual signature of the centennial and the Acadia Centennial Website was designed to serve as the key marketing tool and informational hub for the year-long celebration. With a searchable events calendar, perspectives on Acadia’s history and significance, and centennial product listings, the site showcases the efforts of the 108-strong-and-growing cohort of Acadia Centennial Partners.
