Management Alternatives for Baker Island, Acadia National Park, Maine

Danskin M. 1994. Management Alternatives for Baker Island, Acadia National Park, Maine

From Objective, 'The principal objective of this report is to create a series of management alternatives for Baker Island'. From Abstract, 'This report presents and recommends management alternatives for Baker Island, a small island owned by Acadia National Park. The cultural resources of Baker Island are regionally significant because they represent the histories of many of Maine's coastal islands. I present six management alternatives in this report: no action, fire management, forest cutting, grazing, mowing and herbicide use. I conclude with the recommendation that a combination of fire management and forest cutting is the safest, most effective strategy to maintain and preserve the cultural resouces of Baker Island.' /STUDY LOCATIONS:/ /ISLANDS/Baker Island/
