Award-Winning Teacher Cites UMaine Program
In a Bangor Daily News report about Ed Lindsey, a UMaine alumnus and Old Town High School teacher who is one of 18 teachers in the nation to have won the Presidential Innovation Award for Environmental Educators, Lindsey credited the Acadia Learning Project, in which UMaine is involved, for helping him win the award. Lindsey’s students gather dragonfly larvae from Sunkhaze Meadows National Wildlife Refuge in Milford before bagging, sorting and identifying samples which then go to the UMaine, where researchers analyze mercury levels.
