Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Founded in 1961 at Sieur de Monts Spring in Maine’s Acadia National Park, the Wild Gardens of Acadia display, preserve, propagate, and label native plants in areas simulating natural plant communities. The gardens, which originated from a competition in growing native plants sponsored by the Bar Harbor Garden Club, continue to be developed and maintained by volunteers in partnership with Friends of Acadia and Acadia National Park. Each of the gardens’ 13 habitats, ranging from mountain to beach to bog to deciduous and coniferous woods, displays plants native to the park. Since the founding, countless park visitors have come to the gardens to identify plants they have seen on walks or hikes or to learn more about cultivating native plants. Many of the images in this book are drawn from the extensive photograph collection of the Wild Gardens of Acadia.

Download or read book Creating Acadia National Park written by Ronald Epp and published by . This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although he is known as the "father of Acadia" and a founder of the oldest national park east of the Mississippi River, George Bucknam Dorr's seminal contributions to the American environmental movement have gone largely unacknowledged. Even today, those who live in or visit the coastal Maine communities surrounding Acadia National Park do not fully realize the scope of his achievements. This biography is the story of Dorr's pioneering role in the establishment and development of a unique conservation model that dovetailed with the evolution of the US National Park Service--which shares its 2016 centennial with Acadia.Raised in Boston as a member of New England's elite merchant class, Dorr adopted Maine's Mount Desert Island as his home and the setting to apply the practical lessons of "Boston Brahmin" philanthropy that tracked back to his maternal grandfather, banker and Harvard College Treasurer Thomas Wren Ward. Yet through his finest work--the creation and management of Acadia National Park--and through his collaborations with park co-founders Charles W. Eliot, John D. Rockefeller Jr., and others--Dorr transformed an elitist social inheritance into an all-consuming commitment to conservation. One hundred years after its founding, this national treasure is visited, enjoyed, and beloved by millions every year.The first biography of George B. Dorr ever written, Creating Acadia National Park: the Biography of George Bucknam Dorr is based on painstaking research both in the US and abroad, including federal, state, and private archives. Newly-discovered and uncatalogued sources are supplemented by in-person interviews. This work will appeal to general and scholarly readers who care about the philanthropic roots of land conservation, those interested in what has been celebrated as "America's Best Idea," and above all, those who know and love Acadia National Park.
