The Challenge

About 30% of Acadia National Park’s seasonal positions have gone unfilled recently due to lack of workforce housing.

In 2023, only 8 of 36 seasonal positions on the trails and carriage roads were filled!

Seasonal employees are essential to operating the park and providing visitor services from April through October. That’s why Friends of Acadia has stepped up to help tackle the housing crisis head on.
