“Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago,” as legendary investor Warren Buffett once said. In the same way, we are able to enjoy our national parks because earlier generations chose to protect them. Acadia National Park preservation is a powerful example of that commitment to future generations.

Before it became one of America’s most treasured national parks, Acadia was a popular summer destination for wealthy families. Its rugged coastline, forests, and scenic views also inspired countless artists and writers. In the early 1900s, conservationists recognized the importance of protecting this unique landscape. Through land trusts, generous donations, and coordinated efforts, they helped create what we now know as Acadia. What an enduring success story of Acadia National Park preservation.

Artists continue to play an important role in preserving Acadia’s legacy. By capturing its natural beauty and sharing it with the public, they inspire appreciation and encourage ongoing conservation. This connection between art and nature continues to support awareness of Acadia National Park preservation.

We are proud to be part of that tradition. Maine artist Catherine Breer has created a collection of artwork featuring Acadia’s most iconic landmarks, and we are excited to share her work here.

We invite you to explore these pieces and enjoy the journey with us. Perhaps you would take home a piece of this legacy and help to inspire others to value and protect our natural heritage for generations to come.
