Testimonials

—Jim Vekasi, Acadia National Park, Chief of Maintenance from 1992 through 2011

I see the impact of our Friends’ efforts every time I walk the trails, ride the carriage roads, or catch the Island Explorer. We could not have made the tremendous improvements of the past 25 years without them. From both a park manager’s and park lover’s view, I am deeply grateful to Friends of Acadia.

CJ Lammers, Volunteer, Take Pride in Acadia Day 2020

There's nothing better than working outside with friends I love, caring for a place I love. I'll keep volunteering for Take Pride in Acadia Day every chance I get!
