Environmental Studies
Inspired by the expansive view over the Minas Basin and its impressive 40-foot tides to Cape Blomidon, successive generations of Acadia faculty and students have created a campus culture where concern for our natural environment is expected. The one-of-a-kind K.C. Irving Environmental Science Centre and Harriet Irving Botanical Gardens complex anchors Acadia’s environmental research and teaching program while welcoming visitors interested in learning more about our Acadian Forest region.
