Interpreting Peregrine Falcon Cliff-Nesting Sites at Acadia National Park
Park staff close the wildly popular via ferrata (off-harness/nontechincal climbing route) Precipice Trail seasonally to protect the peregrine falcon nesting sites using the same cliffline. They also work hard to contact visitors here, armed with spotting scopes, to explain why the trail is closed. Visitors behave much more prosaically once they understand what’s at stake.… Continue reading Interpreting Peregrine Falcon Cliff-Nesting Sites at Acadia National Park
Alaskan Sled Dogs (Working Animals) demo at Denali National Park
Much of Denali National Park is federally-designated wilderness. Traditional land uses, like Alaskan sled dog travel, are A-OK in wilderness. These dogs, though…let me tell you they’re bred to live like the hottest of hot-blooded racehorses. Intelligent, highly trainable, and completely pants-on-head over the top insanely energetic. I remember these barking as though possessed for… Continue reading Alaskan Sled Dogs (Working Animals) demo at Denali National Park

Glacial Outwash Plain at Denali National Park
This is the post-glaciated equivalent of a river’s alluvial fan (cone-shaped deposit of coarse fragments / “alluvia”). Forest hydrologists, this is what a river’s alluvial fan looks like when it’s generated from a glacier’s outwash just upstream. Video: Logan Park 2007 3D Interactive Google Earth Onsite
Exercise: Listen for the unique soundscape / natural quiet of a cobble beach
Since the 1990s, national park systems around the world have begun to incorporate natural quiet and soundscapes as a precious and fragile natural resource. Noise pollution has powerful deleterious effects on human health and well-being, as well as for wildlife! Bass Harbor Head, Mount Desert Island Unit, Acadia National Park, Maine, USNPS 44° 13′ 30″… Continue reading Exercise: Listen for the unique soundscape / natural quiet of a cobble beach

Wild edibles, such as fiddlehead ferns, blueberries, blackberries/raspberries, etc. can tempt people to go crashing through woody vegetative undergrowth in search of sweet morsels. A thirty-second diversion into a berry patch can destroy years of growth for sensitive species.

Example: Visitor-Created Trail Soil Subsidence (Erosion + Compaction) at Acadia National Park
This is an example of a “Condition Class 5” (active erosional processes underway) trail segment in saturated subalpine acidic soil over granite (insoluble, low pH buffering) parent material. These roots shouldn’t be visible and degloved (bark stripped off by lugged boot sole trampling) under natural/non-trampled conditions. Site: Forested shoreline east of Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse,… Continue reading Example: Visitor-Created Trail Soil Subsidence (Erosion + Compaction) at Acadia National Park

Example: What hardening a resource against rec impact looks like at Acadia National Park
Observe the basalt/granite stone steps sourced from local material. Also observe the custom-built boardwalk (raised wooden) stairs. Both are used all across the national park by Acadia National Park’s management team to physically separate 2+ million annual visitors’ feet from the fragile subalpine, shoreside lenses of thin, acidic spruce & fir needle-based soils.
