Description:
The partners of Second Century Stewardship announce the availability of Research Fellowships to support research in Acadia National Park. Second Century Stewardship (SCS) was founded in 2016 and is a public-private partnership led by Schoodic Institute at Acadia National Park, the National Park Service (NPS), and the National Park Foundation, with generous support from the David Evans Shaw Family Foundation. SCS seeks to advance conservation and ecosystem science and support stewardship of park resources. The selected Research Fellows will contribute to strengthening and broadening public understanding of the importance of science for parks and society.
The Research Fellows will conduct research to help realize the vision of national parks as places for sharing knowledge, telling science stories, and using science to manage natural and cultural resources and enrich visitor, local community, and employee experiences. The research will help NPS and other organizations adapt and respond to ongoing change and focus on long-term ecological and cultural integrity and viability in a dynamic and challenging future.
