Acadia Nat'l Park

Bass Harbor Head Light Station, in Mount Desert Island, Maine. The ocean meets a large grey and tan-orange rocky outcrop, upon which a small number of dark green coniferous trees stand. Further along the edge of the rocky cliff, a small white lighthouse looks out onto the calm waves before it. Overhead, a few small clouds dot a deep blue sky.

The Northeast project is building on practices used in a Climate Change Refugia mapping pilot study with Acadia National Park, where NPS staff and collaborators identified priority species including migratory birds, culturally-important herbaceous plants, and key tree species. Based on these priorities, we mapped refugia to help inform future monitoring and management at the park.
