DescriptionIn 2009, Friends of Acadia (FOA) granted $21,730 to Maine Coast Heritage Trust (MCHT) to purchase five acres of wetlands. In 2011, land on Bass Harbor Marsh that was held in partnership with MCHT sold to the NPS, with $19,951 revolving back into Friends of Acadia's land conservation fund. In 2009, FOA donated $50,000 to MCHT to purchase an option on thirty-nine acres on Lower Hadlock Pond. The closing on this property occurred in two stages; in 2010 MCHT and FOA acquired a portion of the land with FOA contributing $150,711. In 2011, the partners sold a conservation easement on the acquired parcel to the NPS, and FOA was reimbursed $200,711 that revolved back into Friends of Acadia's land conservation fund. In 2011, MCHT purchased the second half of the Lower Hadlock Pond property. FOA raised funds for this project through its benefit auction and other conservation-minded donors. Of these funds, $200,000 was sent to the Pew Charitable Trusts in support of the Northeast Land Trust Consortium, which is able to provide up to a 50% match on grants made for this initiative. The consortium supports the MDI Conservation Opportunities Initiative II, an effort to support the acquisition and protection of substantially undeveloped parcels on or in the proximity of Mount Desert Island in Maine. Also in 2011, FOA and MCHT purchased 5 acres on Round Pond (Round Pond II). FOA paid $276,730 for 49% ownership, with the intent that the land be sold to Acadia National Park when funding becomes available. Finally, FOA pledged a $170,000 grant toward the purchase of approximately twenty-three additional acres on Round Pond (Round Pond I) to be paid in 2013. This property will be donated to Acadia National Park in 2016 to celebrate the park's centennial.Description

DescriptionThe 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 2011, the workers repaired winter storm damage, including surface damage, erosion and storm damage. Crews replaced intersection signs, added surface material to about 10 miles of carriage roads, cut vistas, and repaired ditching. This program uses thousands of volunteer hours from FOA's volunteer program, and also uses the Acadia Youth Conservation Corps student employees.Description

DescriptionThe 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, 4.1 million visitors have ridden the bus, approximately 1.5 million private vehicle trips have been eliminated, reducing smog causing pollutants by an estimated 22 tons and green house gas emissions by over 14,000 tons. Friends of Acadia has been involved with the bus systems since its inception, granting $2.5 million in funding, and securing more than $2.28 million in grants from L.L. Bean and others to enable continued growth. Friends of Acadia's grant supplements the operating costs of 25 buses on Mount Desert Island, one in Ellsworth, and one on the Schoodic peninsula.Description
