SUMMARY:Wikpiyik naka Welimahaskil Kehkikemuwakon: Lessons from Co-Production Research with Dr. Suzanne Greenlaw.
DESCRIPTION:Scientists increasingly include Indigenous Knowledge through co-production research to provide “novel” responses to climate change\, deforestation\, species extinction\, and ecosystem degradation. Native American scholars express that indigenous people and their knowledge are perhaps now more important for the planet’s sustainability and our future. While scientists are including Indigenous Knowledge within research\, there is a call for scientists to recognize how their work can negatively impact Indigenous people. During her talk\, Dr. Suzanne Greenlaw will share lessons learned from co-production research with Wabanaki people\, Black ash (wikpiyik/Fraxinus nigra)\, and sweetgrass (welimahaskil/Anthoxanthum nitens).  \nAbout Dr. Suzanne Greenlaw\nSince 2017\, Greenlaw has been working with Wabanaki communities in effort to restore Wabanaki sweetgrass (Anthoxanthum nitens) harvesting within Acadia National Park. In this new role\, Greenlaw will continue to foster relationships between Wabanaki communities and the National Park Service in developing collaborative research to support Wabanaki plant gathering and mobilize Wabanaki-led priorities within Acadia National Park. Her work at Schoodic Institute will focus on Wabanaki-led restoration of both freshwater and coastal wetlands. \nDr. Greenlaw\, a citizen of the Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians\, is an Indigenous ecologist\, writer\, and a traditional harvester focused on supporting Wabanaki land access and re-energizing cultural practices throughout Waponahkik. Her doctoral research at the University of Maine concentrated on creating Wabanaki black ash geospatial tools for emerald ash borer preparedness\, and a gatherer-led sweetgrass harvest and stewardship study to address policy requirements for plant gathering. This work is supporting an emergent shared governance approach for monitoring and management of a culturally important species within Acadia National Park. \nSchoodic Institute’s 2024 Summer Lecture Series is made possible by our generous sponsor\, Bar Harbor Bank & Trust.

SUMMARY:Of Asteroids\, Comets\, and Meteors… and Close Encounters II
DESCRIPTION:There are more things in our solar system than the eight planets and their moons. Millions of small bodies of rock\, ice and metal – asteroids\, comets and meteors – orbit the sun. Many are awesome to behold against the dark night sky\, but some are potential threats to our planet. Astronomy volunteer Richard Luecke will offer an image-enhanced introduction to these celestial neighbors\, how to observe them\, and the risks they pose when their trajectories cross the Earth’s orbit around the sun. \nJoin us in Moore Auditorium on the Schoodic Institute campus from 7:30pm – 8:30pm on Saturday\, August 31st. Weather permitting\, attendees will then be invited outdoors for a laser-guided tour of Maine’s stunning night sky and viewing through a large astronomical telescope (approximately 8:30pm – 10:00pm). \nSpace is limited! Please register below.\nCost: $15.00/person or $50.00/family of up to four

SUMMARY:Welcome to the Milky Way II
DESCRIPTION:An estimated 75% of the world’s people cannot see the Milky Way – our home galaxy – because of urban light pollution. But here in Acadia\, it shines brightly on clear nights. The collective glow of its 200+ billion stars arches from horizon to horizon. Astronomy volunteer Richard Luecke will explain our current understanding of the Milky Way\, our place in it\, and how you can view and appreciate its splendors. His image-enhanced presentation will acquaint you with some of our galaxy’s most stunning features. \nWe will meet in Moore Auditorium on the Schoodic Institute campus from 7:30pm – 8:30pm on Friday\, August 30th. Weather permitting\, attendees will then be invited outdoors for a laser-guided tour of the Milky Way and viewing through a large astronomical telescope (8:30pm – 10:00pm). \nSpace is limited!

SUMMARY:2024 Maine’s Bold Coast: Schoodic to Head Harbor Passage
DESCRIPTION:Maine’s Downeast region is ideal for exploring the quieter reaches of Acadia National Park\, spruce-bordered rocky headlands\, nearby blueberry barrens\, and diverse hotspots on the preserved lands of coastal Washington County. Join Schoodic Institute’s bird ecology director Seth Benz on this exciting bird tour and experience the excellent birding Downeast Maine has to offer! \nThis program begins at 2:00pm in Bangor\, ME (or you may opt to drive to Schoodic Institute for a 3pm check-in and 4pm tour start). We will meet at Rockefeller Hall on the Schoodic Institute campus (9 Atterbury Circle\, Winter Harbor\, ME 04693) for introductions and a tour of the institute campus. We’ll spend two nights at Schoodic Institute in Acadia National Park and two nights at Eastland Motel in Lubec; Maine’s easternmost town. From each lodge\, day trips will investigate nearby intertidal areas flooded with migrating shorebirds and wood edges peppered with restless flocks of southbound warblers. We’ll also venture offshore for pelagic birds and whales into Head Harbor Passage\, a deep-water channel between Canada and the United States. \nWe are offering van transportation from Bangor (Odlin Road Park & Ride parking area is very near the Bangor Airport). We will pick you up at the airport OR participants may provide their own ground transportation to and from Schoodic Institute. All participants must be prepared to wear a facial mask that covers nose and mouth during all van travel. Changes to the status of COVID-19 precautions are monitored closely by Schoodic Institute and are subject to the guidance of the Maine CDC (and U.S. CDC). We will adjust accordingly. \nParticipants should bring binoculars. A camera (optional) can be fun as all tours are fairly scenic. Spotting scopes are useful but optional and your guide will provide one for group use\, as well as guidebooks. None of the tours require strenuous hiking. Birding will be slow moving and on level ground. There may be some spots that are muddy\, uneven\, and slippery\, but large boots are unnecessary. The boat tour can be cold and damp. Bring appropriate clothing. Price per participant is $1\,650.00 – please register below. \nSample Itinerary: \nDay 1: The tour begins in Bangor\, Maine at 2pm (transportation pick-up available)\, OR on the Schoodic Institute campus at 3pm as the group convenes at 4pm for this 5-day\, 4-night tour. Check-in and orientation is at Rockefeller Hall. We have an introductory reception beginning at 4pm. Dinner is at 6pm in Schooner Commons. Following dinner\, we will have an evening presentation to get acquainted with the history and ecology of the region. \nDay 2: We’ll start with an optional bird walk before breakfast. Breakfast is from 7am – 8am. We’ll then spend the day afield to survey birding hotspots in Acadia National Park and vicinity. We’ll return for an hour of leisure prior to a Lobster Dinner in the dining hall of Schoodic Institute. After dinner discussion will focus on events of the day and research and education work of the institute. \nDay 3: Following breakfast\, we’ll transition from the Schoodic Peninsula by birding our way to Lubec\, arriving by late afternoon. Along the way\, we’ll visit Roque Bluffs State Park and another birding hotspot or two. Dinner will be at a local eatery in Lubec. After dinner we’ll do a checklist review and preparation for the next day’s adventure. \nDay 4: The focus today is a boat trip out of Eastport into Head Harbor Passage which lies between the U.S. and Canada – with a tide so strong that the world’s second largest whirlpool\, “The Old Sow\,” swirls in the middle. So much sea life congregates in this channel that minke whales are usually sighted from land. The channel fills with Bonaparte’s Gulls\, Black-legged Kittiwakes\, Common Eiders\, Black Guillemots\, and Razorbills\, feeding off mackerel and herring offshore. \nDay 5: The last day’s itinerary is the leader’s choice\, giving us a good portion of the day to make up for any bad weather or missed opportunities along the route from Lubec back toward Schoodic/Bangor. The tour ends at 2pm in Bangor.

SUMMARY:Nature’s Lessons on Life\, Loss\, Legacy\, and Restorative Wonder
DESCRIPTION:A special evening lecture and welcome reception with award-winning science writer\, photographer\, and Corea\, Maine resident Margie Patlak \nBeginning at 6:00pm before the lecture\, we invite you to join us for a reception as we welcome Margie to Schoodic Institute. During the reception\, you’ll enjoy complimentary wine\, cheese\, and conversation with Margie to learn more about her and her work. Margie’s books will be available for purchase before and after the lecture\, providing a perfect opportunity to take home a piece of the evening. During the lecture (beginning at 7pm)\, Margie will share what the nature in Maine taught her about life\, loss\, legacy\, and restorative wonder. She will also showcase some of Maine’s more wondrous scenery with her photos. \nWithin a short span of time\, Patlak lost her mother and sole sibling. Reeling from those losses\, she returned to live in Down East Maine\, where she spent her childhood summers. While in mourning and writing about the wilder environment she experienced at her new home\, Patlak uncovered many lessons from nature. For example\, the three generations of monarch butterflies that it takes to make their way from Mexico to Maine taught her the value of what is passed on from generation to generation\, and the dramatic tides taught her how fleeting time is and the need to make the most of it. Patlak will share several other vital lessons she and others have learned from nature about life\, loss\, legacy\, and restorative wonder–lessons that helped her personally heal from her losses. Many of these were recounted in Patlak’s award-winning memoir More Than Meets the Eye: Exploring Nature and Loss on the Coast of Maine\, which was published in 2021. She will illustrate the talk with her photos of stunning Maine scenery that appear in her more recent book Wild and Wondrous: Nature’s Artistry on the Coast of Maine. \nMargie Patlak is a science writer\, memoirist and photographer. Her memoir More Than Meets the Eye: Exploring Nature and Loss on the Coast of Maine was given the “Outstanding Book” award by the American Society for Journalists and Authors in 2022. Best-selling author Sy Montgomery called it a “beautiful and surprising book in which bereavement gives way to awe.” Her photobook Wild and Wondrous: Nature’s Artistry on the Coast of Maine\, which was published in July of 2023\, is “not just a book\, but a stunning work of art that transports the reader to the magical shores of Maine\,” award-winning nature photographer Steven Mandel noted. Patlak’s personal essays and articles have appeared in a number of newspapers\, magazines\, and literary journals including The Los Angeles Times\, The Philadelphia Inquirer\, The Washington Post\, Discover magazine\, Hippocampus\, JuxtaProse and many others. Her photographs have appeared in solo and group exhibits in Maine and are in private collections. She has degrees in Botany and Environmental Studies and divides her time between Philadelphia\, Pennsylvania and Corea\, Maine. \nSchoodic Institute’s 2024 Summer Lecture Series is made possible by our generous sponsor\, Bar Harbor Bank & Trust.

SUMMARY:Sea & Sky at Acadia National Park with Carol Douglas
DESCRIPTION:Spend a week at inspirational Schoodic Institute in Acadia National Park! Far from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor\, Schoodic Peninsula has dramatic rock formations\, windblown pines\, pounding surf and stunning mountain views that draw visitors from around the world. \nYou might look up from your easel to see dolphins\, humpback whales or seals cavorting in the waves. Herring gulls visit while eiders and cormorants splash about. \nA day trip to the harbor at Corea\, ME is included. Far off the beaten path\, Corea\, ME is a village of small frame houses\, fishing piers and lobster traps. Its working fleet bustles in and out of the harbor. \nCONCENTRATE ON PAINTING\nMeals and accommodations at the beautiful Schoodic Institute are included in your fee. That includes a lobster boil by a real Corea fisherman. We’re right on Schoodic Point so we have unrivalled (and permitted) access to the park. \nALL MEDIUMS WELCOME\nThis workshop is aimed at helping painters refine their personal technique in watercolor\, pastel\, oils and acrylics. It will help you find your own voice and style\, without becoming anyone’s clone. This is an intensive class\, with morning and afternoon on-site painting sessions and lunch-time demos. Classes are kept small so every student gets the attention they deserve. \nCarol Douglas has 20 years’ experience teaching students of all levels in watercolor\, oils\, acrylics and pastels. Her Acadia workshops are very popular. “This was the best painting instruction I have ever had. Carol’s advice in color mixing was particularly eye-opening. Her explanations are clear and easy to understand. She is very approachable and supportive. I would take this course again in a heartbeat.” (Carol T.) \nEASILY ACCESSIBLE\nIt’s easy to get to painting locations on the Schoodic Peninsula. A ring road with frequent pull-offs means you never walk more than a few hundred feet to your painting destination. \nFLY OR DRIVE\nSchoodic is only 90 minutes from Bangor International Airport. Or wind your way up from Boston along historic\, scenic coastal Route 1. \nThe one-week workshop is $1\,750.00\, including five days’ accommodation in a private room with shared bath\, meals\, snacks\, and instruction. Or\, take the workshop as a commuter for $795. Accommodations for non-painting partners and guests are also available.

SUMMARY:A World on the Wing: The Global Odyssey of Migratory Birds
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, July 16th at 7:00pm for a special evening lecture\, A World on the Wing: The Global Odyssey of Migratory Birds\, with bestselling author and ornithologist Scott Weidensaul. \nEven as scientists make astounding discoveries about the navigational and physiological feats that enable migratory birds to cross immense oceans or fly above the highest mountains\, go weeks without sleep or remain in unbroken flight for months at a stretch\, humans have brought many migrants to the brink. Based on his bestselling new book “A World on the Wing\,” author and researcher Scott Weidensaul takes you around the globe — with researchers in the lab probing the limits of what migrating birds can do\, to the shores of the Yellow Sea in China\, the remote mountains of northeastern India where tribal villages saved the greatest gathering of falcons on the planet\, and the Mediterranean\, where activists and police are battling bird poachers — to learn how people are fighting to understand and save the world’s great bird migrations. \nScott Weidensaul is the author of more than two dozen books on natural history\, including the Pulitzer Prize finalist “Living on the Wind” and his latest\, the New York Times bestseller “A World on the Wing.” Weidensaul is a contributing editor for Audubon and writes for a variety of other publications\, including Bird Watcher’s Digest and Living Bird. He is a Fellow of the American Ornithological Society and an active field researcher\, studying saw-whet owl migration for more than 25 years\, as well as winter hummingbirds in the East\, bird migration in Alaska\, and the winter movements of snowy owls through Project SNOWstorm\, which he co-founded. A native of Pennsylvania\, he and his wife now live in New Hampshire. \nSchoodic Institute’s 2024 Summer Lecture Series is made possible by our generous sponsor\, Bar Harbor Bank & Trust. \nRegistration link: \nhttps://schoodicinstitute.org/event/2024-summer-lecture-series-scott-weidensaul/

SUMMARY:Downeast Maine Puffins and Seabirds with Caretta Inspired Journeys
DESCRIPTION:Join Caretta Inspired Journeys for a taste of summer in Downeast Maine and experience the unique coastal islands of the North Atlantic! \nThis five-day excursion starts at the Bangor Maine Airport. From there we will travel to Rockland\, Maine for early afternoon briefings about the Atlantic Puffins recovery at the Audubon Society’s Project Puffin. We will also learn about the protection and management of all the breeding seabirds on remote islands via an interactive zoom discussion with island researchers at the Maine Coastal Islands National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center (MCINWR). Accommodations for all five nights are provided at Schoodic Institute. We are fortunate to be able to provide private room accommodations in 2 and 4 bedroom apartments at Schoodic Institute. Each apartment is equipped with a full kitchen and we will stop for grocery shopping on the way to Schoodic Institute that evening. \nThe trip includes a guided kayaking tour of Frenchman’s Bay on the 4th of July (weather-permitting\, fireworks from Bar Harbor and other coastal communities should be visible in the evening from where we’re staying). A MCINWR representative will guide a nature walk and beach clean-up activities on Petit Manan Point that is adjacent to a Puffin nesting colony. You’ll also have some time to make your own plans to take a group tour of Acadia National Park\, dine/shop in Bar Harbor\, or rent bikes/hike on the Schoodic Peninsula. Information on these DIY options will be sent when you register online. On Sunday\, July 7\, we will go on a two-hour Puffin Cruise out of Bar Harbor to benefit MCINWR through their Friends group. There will be staff on board who can communicate with island researchers to answer your questions. \nTo register:\nhttps://www.carettainspiredjourneys.org/event-details/down-east-maine-puffins-and-seabirds-2

SUMMARY:Music and Nature Reflections with Hawk Henries
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Schoodic Institute (in-person or online) on Tuesday\, September 12th at 7:00pm for a special evening conversation and musical performance with Hawk Henries. Hawk is a renowned musician and flute maker.
