Seasonal photographer/videographer Evie Linantud captured a great deal during her tenure with Friends of Acadia this year, from soil restoration hikes and Fourth of July parades to the hard work of volunteers and staff. Not to mentioned a host of park visitors doing what we all love: Enjoy the marvelous landscapes of Acadia National Park.
