DescFriends of Acadia makes grants from its Acadia Trails Forever project fund to the ANP trails program to maintain the park's 130 miles of trails. Along with the usual erosion repair and social path closings, projects in 2015 included the continuation of the Deer Brook project, rehabilitation of the historical stone walkway on Jordan Stream, adding an ADA section to the Ocean Path along with support wall repair, repair historic stone work at Hunters Brook, complete rehabilitation of the historic Cadillac Cliffs trail, drainage work on Hadlock Brook and Stratheden Paths and an upgrade of stairs and rungs on the Beehive. The Acadia Youth Conservation Corps assisted with many of the projects above, including cleaning drainage ditches, revegetating eroded areas, and cutting and hauling brush. An additional 4.7 miles of trails were added to the trail system at Schoodic Woods, doubling the Schoodic trails to 8.4 miles.Desc

DescThe Island Explorer is a fare-free, seasonal, propane-powered bus system that runs through Acadia National Park and its surrounding gateway communities. Since its first day of operation in 1999, 6.01 million visitors have ridden the bus, approximately 2.29 million private vehicle trips have been eliminated, reducing smog causing pollutants by an estimated 32.1 tons and greenhouse gas emissions by over 20,054 tons. Friends of Acadia has been involved with the bus systems since its inception, granting over $3 million in funding, and securing $2.8 million in grants from L.L. Bean and others to enable the system to grow. Friends of Acadia's grant supports the operating costs of 28 buses on Mount Desert Island, and one on the Schoodic peninsula.Desc

DescThe Carriage Road maintenance grant makes possible the salaries of six Acadia National Park workers who perform regular maintenance of the park's 44 miles of historic carriage roads. In 2015, the workers rock-raked, dragged smooth, and rolled the entire carriage road system at and the beginning and end of the season. They repaired and cleaned 10 culverts around Eagle Lake, recovered and reset coping stones that had been dislodged throughout the system, unclogged beaver plugged culverts, and worked with the park biologist to ensure the park followed new cutting rules that apply due to the listing of the long-eared bat as an endangered species. These rules were followed to restore over 50 vistas throughout the park. This program uses thousands of volunteer hours from FOA's volunteer program, and also uses the Acadia Youth Conservation Corps student employees.Desc
