At Schoodic Institute, our mission is inspiring science, learning, and community for a changing
world. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we serve as Acadia National Park’s primary partner
in science and education. Together, we manage the largest of 17 National Park Service Research
Learning Centers.
Schoodic Institute’s focus is understanding environmental change taking place in Acadia and
beyond, and helping managers respond and adapt to change. Through rigorous research and
strong partnerships, we develop successful models for engaging people of all ages in science
and supporting researchers and educators. We are also creating professional pathways for earlycareer
scientists, educators, and science communicators working in conservation.
