The leaves in Maine are starting to change color, but according to a new report, the timing of peak fall foliage at Acadia National Park has changed over the past 70 years.
A severe rainstorm destroyed a beloved trail at Acadia National Park. Now, the park service is trying to decide whether it makes sense to repair it as climate change brings more severe storms to the park.
For decades, the core mission of the Park Service was absolute conservation. Now ecologists are being forced to do triage, deciding what to safeguard - and what to let slip away.
