Schoodic Institute 2014 Annual Report

2014 ANNUAL REPORT
Dear Friends,
It is our pleasure and honor to share our 2014 Annual Report as we thank you for your generous support.
2014 was a year of transition for Schoodic Institute as Mark arrived and began his tenure as President & CEO in June. He filled key roles with hires of Alyne Cistone
as Director of Advancement and Megan Moshier as Events Coordinator. We were also pleased to welcome Dr. Jim Andrews to our Board of Directors.
Our summer was highlighted by Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell speaking at Rockefeller Hall in front of an appreciative crowd of over 400. We were joined at
the podium by Acadia Superintendent Sheridan Steele, President of the National Park Foundation Neil Mulholland, Schoodic Institute Advisory Council member
David Rockefeller, Jr. and Director of the National Park Service Jon Jarvis. Secretary Jewell, the keynote speaker, spoke passionately about the importance of the
partnership between Schoodic Institute and the National Park Service, highlighting the engagement of youth in science.
This report will highlight how you’ve helped us connect children to nature and give them the inspiration and tools to appreciate and understand its beauty and
complexity. We provide opportunities for students to live and learn in Acadia National Park, and provide deep connections with scientists for teachers and older
students who engage in research within their own communities.
Many of these students are participants in citizen science. Citizen science is a core strategy for Schoodic Institute and an arena in which people of all ages can
contribute to valuable scientific knowledge. You can read in this report about several new citizen science programs and partnerships we started this year. We also
helped launch the Citizen Science Association by receiving and managing grants and donations on behalf of the Association.
Acadia National Park is an extraordinary place to conduct science research. We facilitate the research completed throughout the Park, host researchers and research
meetings, and partner directly on priority projects.
Recognizing the power of art to connect people to nature, Schoodic Institute partnered with Acadia to support and celebrate the 20th year of its Artist-in-Residence
program. We host the artists at Schoodic Institute, along with art retreats and workshops.
In addition to our many citizen science opportunities and workshops, we offer regular community events and programs, from family festivals to science presentations
and discussions. A new event for us in 2014 was a tour contributed by Bar Harbor Whale Watch for our supporters. We hope we’ll see you at these events this year!
Thanks to you, Schoodic Institute is poised to continue to grow, advancing research that is essential to Acadia and our region, and providing inspiration and lifelong learning.
Sincerely,
Alan Goldstein
Chairman
Mark Berry
President & CEO
MISSION:
The Schoodic Institute is committed to guiding present and future generations to greater understanding and respect for nature by providing research
and learning opportunities through its outstanding Acadia National Park setting, unique coastal Maine facilities, and innovative partnership programs.
Schoodic Institute is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that exists in a close public-private partnership with Acadia National Park. The Institute
supports science and education throughout the Park and the region and manages the Schoodic Education and Research Center campus. The Institute
also partners with a wide range of other organizations, many of which we were not able to name or fully acknowledge here.
Education and research at Schoodic Institute are deliberately intertwined, with experts, students, and community participants of all ages contributing
and learning through innovative Citizen Science projects.
NEW PERSONNEL
Schoodic Institute welcomed Mark Berry as the new President & CEO in June, 2014. Mark and
his family have appreciated the warm welcome to the Schoodic Peninsula. Also joining the staff
of Schoodic Institute in 2014 were Megan Moshier of Winter Harbor as Events Coordinator and
Alyne Cistone of Mount Desert as Director of Advancement.
VOLUNTEERS AT SCHOODIC
Volunteers remain essential to the success of Schoodic Institute and the Schoodic Education and
Research Center. Volunteers contributed in a multitude of areas and on specific projects including
providing visitor information, serving as campus hosts, and helping with shoreline clean-ups, trail
maintenance, special events, and citizen science projects. We would like to thank all of our 2014
volunteers for the many hours of service donated.

REACH OF SCHOODIC INSTITUTE
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS:
Many children—including in your communities—have never held a salamander, studied a tree’s roots, or
watched the ocean crash against a craggy coastline. Even our wildest spaces are undergoing rapid environmental change—perhaps signaled by the loss of a native plant species, the appearance of an invasive one, or
the glimpse of a migratory bird arriving earlier than last year.
EDUCATION PROGRAMS AND PARTNERSHIPS
IN 2014.
Because of your support in 2014, many school children and community members were able to participate in
our various programs thereby enhancing their understanding and appreciation for nature. You helped us reach
more participants and beneficiaries of programs in comparison to the previous year.
In 2014, Schoodic Institute:
• reached over 1,700 students, 250 teachers, and 5,000 other participants and volunteers.
• provided nearly 11,000 nights of lodging.
• helped to digitize over 3,000 documents and records in the park archives and helped to update the
taxonomy of thousands of historical biological specimens in the park’s collections.
• helped to recruit and administer over 90 permitted research projects in Acadia.
SCHOOL PROGRAMS, PARTNERSHIPS, AND TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT:
• In 2014, Students from Maine public middle schools attended the acclaimed three-day Schoodic Education
Adventure (SEA) programs led by Acadia National Park educators. In 2014, 15 Maine schools –
including the Peninsula School 7th grade – participated in SEA, along with 3 out of state schools. Many of
the student participants were seeing the ocean for the first time. In addition, the Schoodic District Education
program provided 13 field trip and school outreach events in 2014.
Schoodic Institute also worked with schools,
teachers, or students from at least 20 other
states in 2014.
Here is what one of the young participants had to say. In a journal entry by a student from urban Connecticut seeing the ocean for
the first time while participating in our SEA residential program:
“This is what it feels like to me when I sit by a powerful wave. It feels like I’m free and brave, like I can do anything. It feels like nature is
saying something. I like it. I think it should be like that in Connecticut.”

• Acadia Learning brings science into classrooms and students into the outdoors to participate as citizen scientists who investigate questions that are
relevant to the health of National Parks. In 2014, Acadia Learning worked with 17 teachers whose 600 students are investigating the effects of
climate change on snowpack, hydrology, and aquatic habitats. In addition, through our strategic partnership, Acadia National Park led two summer
teacher workshops on scientific monitoring at Schoodic.
Kate Drummond, Skowhegan Area High School Science Teacher on the Snowpack Project:
“I have found this to be probably one of the best professional development opportunities I’ve ever had as a teacher. As a HS science teacher,
you kind of feel cut off from the rest of the scientific world, and with this experience, I feel connected with what is really going on with the
scientific community. And I feel that what the students are getting is a real representation of what scientists do. We are working on a real
problem that needs to be solved.”
• Advanced Placement (AP) Summer Institutes are week-long intensive programs
in specific course areas. They are open to all middle and high school teachers
who teach advanced placement or pre-advanced placement courses. The institutes
are sanctioned by The College Board and carry continuing education and graduate credits. In 2014, seventy-seven teachers from sixteen states participated in AP
Summer Institutes at Schoodic.
• Schoodic Institute is leading research into development of teacher leadership
within a community of approximately 100 middle school and high school science
teachers representing more than twenty school districts. The Maine Physical Science
Partnership convened these teachers at Schoodic Institute for a week in June
2014.

• Schoodic Institute is developing data literacy assessment tools, working with
ten teachers and approximately 350 students in 2014. Schoodic Institute also
worked with individual school districts to help teachers make more productive

proficiency relative to state learning standards.
• Schoodic Institute helped advance international conservation education. The Acadian Program in 2014 brought students and young conservationists
from the U.S., Argentina, Belize, Chile, and Vietnam to Schoodic to learn and gain inspiration from the successful history of conservation in Maine
and the United States.
CITIZEN SCIENCE
• The flagship biodiversity discovery program in Acadia is its annual BioBlitz. The 2014 BioBlitz based at Schoodic Institute was Acadia’s 13th, and
was focused on beetles. Each year up to 100 volunteers come together on the Schoodic Institute campus for a weekend focused on a different group
of insects. This year volunteers will search for wasps, bees, ants, millipedes, and centipedes (Hymenoptera and Myriapoda). BioBlitzes inform park
managers and contribute to improving public awareness and understanding about the biodiversity and ecological role of insects and spiders.
• Over the years, the volunteers have identified over 500 species previously unknown to occur in the park and over 200 species new to
Maine. They have provided important insights to changes in our
environment and insights into the best methods for documenting
those changes.

“To protect our environment for the future, we need to let
young people have opportunities to make connections with
the environment they live in. BioBlitz in Acadia is a program
that allows us not only to do what park visitors don’t normally get
to do, such as going to places that are off limits and catching
specimens, but also to have new educational experiences—
like seeing new species we haven’t seen before or correctly
pinning insects. You also build a better relationship with
your children and people you spend time with while you are
outdoors.”
• Other Citizen Science projects hosted by Schoodic Institute in 2014
included the Christmas Bird Count, SeaWatch at Schoodic Point, HawkWatch on Cadillac Mountain, morning bird migration monitoring at
Frazer Point, and phenological (or seasonal timing) changes in the
intertidal zone. A new project in 2014 focused on phenology of forest species
interactions in a changing climate.
• The Schoodic Institute Bird Ecology Program also led five new multi-day
birding tours with a citizen-science component in 2014 in partnership
with the Maine Birding Trail.

“From binoculars to radar forecasting to nanotags—the newest
and most detailed bird-specific tracking device—research methods
are deepening our understanding of how birds migrate and use the
Gulf of Maine as critical stopover or refueling habitat.”

visualization project.
• In November, a project was launched at Schoodic with EarthWatch and EMC Corporation to bring multiple citizen science datasets together in a
manner useful to researchers. Visualizations were created for the public and resource managers.
• Schoodic Institute and Acadia National Park are helping to lead the development of the new international Citizen Science Association
(www.citizenscienceassociation.org).

FACILITATING RESEARCH AT ACADIA NATIONAL PARK
• Acadia National Park is a uniquely valuable natural laboratory, in part because of its long history of ecological research and monitoring. The Institute
helped digitize research records and museum collections to make them available to researchers and the public. Institute staff also facilitate the process
of permitting research within the Park.
• Schoodic Institute hosted two Acadia Science Symposium events in 2014. The first, in April, was rescheduled after the planned event in October
2013 was affected by a federal government shutdown. The second, in October, was the centerpiece of a three day Science – Art – Conservation
series of events that also included the annual Convergence conference of the Down East Research and Education Network.
• In June Schoodic Institute launched a new research vessel “RV Schoodic”, a 30 ft dual-masted sailboat for which the funds were contributed to the
Institute. “RV Schoodic” is available to support near-shore marine research, including in Frenchman Bay and around nearby islands.
ART AT SCHOODIC INSTITUTE
• Schoodic Institute partners with Acadia National Park to host Artists-in-Residence with
the opportunity to pursue their art while housed on the Schoodic Peninsula for two to
four week periods. The Artist-In-Residence Program celebrated its 20th year in 2014
and hosted artists throughout the year.
• Schoodic Institute also hosted art exhibits and workshops in 2014, naturalist workshops, a fall artists retreat, and an Art & Environmental Science Symposium.

Jana Matusz, Area Artist in the Artist-in-Residence Program:
“If you are an artist...the Acadia Artist in Residence program is one which will
inspire you and provide you with the best subject matter on the planet. If you
are not an artist, and see someone at work at an easel or with a tripod, know
that they are following their passion, working hard, in order to share their
impressions of Acadia with you and generations of nature-lovers for years to come.”

COMMUNITY PROGRAMS
• A highlight of our season was Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell’s visit on August 15th. Over 400 people gathered as Secretary Jewell highlighted
the importance of connecting youth to nature and celebrated the partnership between Schoodic Institute and Acadia National Park. Video of the
event is available at www.schoodicinstitute.org.
Sally Jewell, U.S. Secretary of the Interior:
“What’s happening here at Schoodic Institute is something pretty exciting – not just direct science, but
engaging the next generation in science.”
