How will climate change impact plants and animals at Acadia National Park? This week we talk with Dr. Jennifer Smetzer, who has been mapping areas of the park that could serve as refugia for many native species. We also take some time to look at some great park destinations for fall, and question the process Interior Secretary David Bernhardt took to expand access for eBikes in the National Park System.
