Acadia Partners for Science and Learning
The National Park Service manages SERC in cooperation with the non-profit organization Acadia Partners for Science and Learning. Acadia Partners facilitates the SERC mission by managing program and facility operations; developing financial support; and cultivating partnerships and collaborations among research laboratories, universities, public schools, nonprofits, and government agencies. These partnerships enrich SERC’s research and education programs, and provide opportunities to extend the benefits of science beyond the park’s boundaries.
