Acadia's Art and the Environment Class

hike the Woodland Trails

Students from Judith Leidl's 'Art and the Environement' class braved -17 degree temperatures to discover the art of nature on the Woodland Trails. Throughout the term the class will be creating outdoor environmental art in the Woodlands.

The Woodland Trails are always open. Get outside and enjoy the woods in winter. Take a hike on our Woodland Trails. To download a trails map click here.

The Gardens are closed to ensure the safety of both people and plants. The gates will re-open when the pathways are clear of snow and ice.

Do you love working with people and plants?

We're now hiring students for seasonal positions. Click here to download the job postings.
