Lead Summit Steward - Acadia National Park

The Summit Stewards are an interdisciplinary team that work alongside Acadia National Park (ANP) staff to improve the visitor experience and reduce visitor impacts in the park by engaging with over 15,000 visitors annually. Summit Stewards traverse the trails of Acadia promoting Leave No Trace stewardship, interpreting the natural and cultural resources, and performing trail maintenance to preserve trail sustainability. Summit Stewards spend 2 days per week on Cadillac Mountain’s trails and summit and 3 days per week on trails and summits throughout Acadia. Summit Stewards work under ANP’s Visitor Experience and Education Division and therefore must comply with National Park Service volunteer agreements and standards. 

In addition to serving in the field as a Summit Steward, the Lead Summit Steward assists the Program Coordinator with daily team functions and organizational assistance. While some duties occur throughout the work week, they are primarily during the Coordinator’s days off.
