SUMMARY:Trees of Acadia: The Past\, Present\, and Future of Park Forests feat. Catherine Schmitt and Panel (Schoodic Institute's Summer Lecture Series)
DESCRIPTION:Join us in person at Schoodic Institute or online via Zoom on Tuesday\, August 11 at 7:00pm for Trees of Acadia: The Past\, Present\, and Future of Park Forests feat. Catherine Schmitt and Panel\, featuring author and Science Communication Specialist Catherine Schmitt with Matthew Duveneck (forest ecologist and Schoodic Institute Second Century Stewardship Fellow)\, Kate Miller (quantitative ecologist with the National Park Service Inventory and Monitoring Division)\, and Allen Workman (author and historian). \nFrom the sharp spires of spruce and fir at the edge of ocean cliffs\, to mountain forests\, cedar swamps\, maple meadows\, and pine barrens\, Acadia National Park would not be Acadia if not for the trees. The most common ecosystem across the park\, forests support a diversity of wildlife\, protect lakes and streams\, and clean the air. These forests are special for many reasons. Today\, Acadia hosts some of the oldest and healthiest woodlands in the Eastern United States\, but their future is uncertain. Schoodic Institute Science Communication Specialist Catherine Schmitt discusses her new book\, Trees of Acadia\, with a panel of experts. \nRegister online at https://schoodicinstitute.org/event/summer-lecture-series-trees-of-acadia/ \nSchoodic Institute’s 2026 Summer Lecture Series events are free\, thanks to support from our generous sponsor\, Bar Harbor Bank & Trust.

SUMMARY:Archaeology Then and Now:  Exploring Wabanaki Heritage in and around Frenchman Bay
DESCRIPTION:The Frenchman Bay region has a long history of archaeological research that offers deep-time insights into Wabanaki lifeways. In this talk\, Dr. Bonnie Newsom explores the archaeological heritage of Wabanaki peoples in and around Frenchman Bay\, considering early researchers\, their methods and interpretations\, alongside more recent work that gives greater attention to Wabanaki perspectives. Together\, these examples illustrate how archaeological practice and understandings of Indigenous heritage in the region have evolved over time.

SUMMARY:Swordfish in Wabanaki Homeland
DESCRIPTION:Archaeological sites along the Maine coast show that swordfish existed in the Gulf of Maine between approximately 5\,500 and 3\,700 years ago. Excavations at multiple Maine sites have produced swordfish rostra\, vertebrae\, and other remains\, indicating that Wabanaki ancestors harvested and processed these large fish for millennia. In this presentation\, Dr. Bonnie Newsom will discuss the presence of swordfish in Wabanaki homeland and what these archaeological data reveal about past marine conditions\, Wabanaki fishing practices\, and how climate change affected local ecosystems. Through archaeological study of swordfish remains from the Gulf of Maine\, we can appreciate the sophisticated relationship Indigenous peoples had with swordfish specifically\, and the marine environment more broadly.

SUMMARY:People-Nature-Art with Painter Sean Murtha
DESCRIPTION:Throughout his life\, Sean Murtha’s interest in science and nature never waned\, even as he pursued a degree in art. In fact\, science and nature usually formed the basis for his artwork. In 1995\, five years after he earned an MFA in painting from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn\, N.Y.\, he found the perfect marriage of art and natural science when he began working for the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. There he learned the art of diorama background painting\, a rare skill he continues to use at museums to this day.\nThe Wendell Gilley Museum welcomes him on Tuesday\, Aug. 18 as the People-Nature-Art presenter for the month. There will be an in-person artist’s reception at 6 p.m. at the Gilley\, followed by a presentation at 7 p.m. that will happen in person\, and livecast online simultaneously. Admission is free but registration is required.
