Acadia National Park is using funds from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to improve the health and function of the Great Meadow Wetland, while also improving its climate resiliency. The project will improve flood mitigation, natural water flow, and wildlife passage to create a healthier ecosystem. Part of the project also includes removing invasive plants and planting native plants that are adapted for a future climate. Stephanie Clement, conservation director at Friends of Acadia, says this is an important step in preserving Acadia's natural ecosystem.
