Oooh, someone stranded on an island when tides came in... Looks like they, tried to swim for it and drowned. 🙏

On a gray rainy day we are standing atop the rocky cliffs of a high headland on the Atlantic Ocean with a few leafless shrubs atop and two battered small pines poking up from the cliff side. Waves are breaking on a large beach of beige sand backed by a band of pine trees on the far side and some wetlands and then a small lagoon to our right. A steep rocky prominence with sparse tree cover known as the Beehive rises above the lagoon. Beyond the pines is an empty parking lot for the beach and a glimpse of the park road. Everything else is forests. Other than another pine forest on our left and scattered pines on and around the Beehive the trees are mostly leafless hardwoods.

A bright sunny day with a deep blue ocean. Looking down from a mountain to the rounded crest of a smaller mountain covered with a forest of predominantly pine trees with a sprinkling of leafless hardwoods. There are some rocky patches near the top. The smaller mountain is on a peninsula jutting into a long narrow arm of the ocean. The far shore of this sound is a small village with a number of houses and cottages. It is at or near low tide, a great deal of the shallow floor of the sound is exposed along its coasts.

#Maine - The #SchoodicToSchoodic Initiative

"Together we can save one of the last places along the #EasternSeaboard where #wildlife can roam to and from rocky #shores and inland #woods seeking food and refuge.

"Seventy-five percent of Maine’s native plants and animals are vulnerable to the impacts of #ClimateChange. As temperatures warm, these threatened species will have to move significant distances to survive, but too often #development makes this impossible.

"Over the past several decades we’ve been working in partnership with #FrenchmanBayConservancy, #TheNatureConservancy, the #StateOfMaine, and other partners to conserve key 'stepping stones' of land between #DonnellPond Unit (state-conserved land surrounding #SchoodicMountain and #TunkLake) and the #SchoodicDistrict of #AcadiaNationalPark (on the #SchoodicPeninsula) to create a protected corridor for #wildlife. Through over 60 conservation projects, #MCHT and partners have conserved more than 55,000 acres from 'Schoodic to Schoodic.' MCHT has played a role in three-quarters of those projects.

"Still, the corridor is not sufficiently protected and critical lands are under threat of development."
