Acadia National Park
Volunteer with Friends of Acadia
Help preserve and protect Acadia National Park with the gift of time, from dropping in to do trail work, chatting up park visitors at our Membership Table, or hiking soil to a mountain summit.
A little bit of volunteering can accomplish a whole lot of good!
Acadia National Park was created by the individual efforts of people who loved this place and were motivated to care for it. Today, you can be a part of this legacy by volunteering in the park with Friends of Acadia.
Whether you volunteer for a few hours, a few months, or year after year, you’ll see a new side of Acadia, feel a deeper connection to the park, and leave this national treasure a little better than you found it.
Join our signature volunteer events: Help pick up roadside debris during Earth Day Roadside Cleanup every April and rake leaves on the carriage roads during Take Pride in Acadia Day every November.
Stewardship Volunteers
Volunteers are needed on Acadia’s trails and carriage roads. Come for a morning, a season, or a lifetime! All are welcome & no experience is necessary. It’s not only important… it’s fun!

The crushed-stone surfaces of Acadia’s carriage roads make them ideal for cross country skiing in the wintertime. Add the park’s spectacular scenery and trail grooming by the volunteers of the Acadia Winter Trails Association, and it is no wonder that skiing is a highlight of the season for many area residents and winter visitors.
