During 1995 the Acadia National Park native plant revegetation program revegetated six new sites. Describes activities conducted during revegetation of seventeen sites during 1994 and 10 sites during 1995 within the park. Descriptions of conditions, revegetation effort including numbers and species of plants planted, and recommendations are presented for each site. Contains a map showing roadside areas where grass was re-seeded. Discovered non-native invasive red fire ants (Mymrica rubra) at the Hull's Cove plant nursery site in the spring of 1994. This plant nursery site was abandoned in 1995 to avoid spreading these ants to park areas. The watering system and other supplies were dismantled and moved to the Sand Beach plant nursery site. All plant materials at the Hull's Cove nursery were destroyed because the ants were in the root balls. /STUDY LOCATIONS:/ /MOUNT DESERT ISLAND/Witch Hole Pond Trail/Egg Rock Overlook/Otter Cliff Road/Park Loop Road/Schooner Head Overlook/Carroll Farm/Long Pond Boat Ramp/Cadillac Mountain/The Tarn/Park Headquarters/Seawall Campground/Seawall Residence/Precipice Trail/Ocean Drive/Bear Brook Picnic Area/Gorham Mountain Trail/
