Last month marked two consecutive years of record-breaking visitation at Acadia. But the latest numbers are shadowed by staffing challenges fueled by a lack of affordable housing in the area.
Close to 4 million people visited Acadia National Park last year, nearly 100,000 visitors shy of 2021's record-breaking total.came to the park, according to federal data.
"If you had asked me a year ago if my No. 1 project was going to be affordable housing, I would have thought you're crazy," Stiles said."What does it have to do with conservation? Absolutely everything." Though two consecutive years of record-breaking visitation have been challenging, Stiles said it means that more people have been able to experience Acadia. But the park needs more funding from Congress to make these trends sustainable, and visitors should do more to reduce their physical impact on the environment, he said.
