Citizen Science in Acadia National ParkMy name is Megan McDonald, and I am a 6th grade science teacher at Kealing Middle School. Last May I applied with JASON Learning to participate in a program that sends teachers and students on research trips. I was awarded a spot on the team traveling to Acadia National Park. We will be working on a research project there called Seas to Trees. This program is studying the effect of climate change on the different ecosystems within Acadia National Park, and wildlife that lives there. I am excited to teach my students about citizen science and climate change!
