Course aims to train wilderness responders

WINTER HARBOR – Acadia National Park and Acadia Partners for Science and Learning will hold a hands-on Wilderness First Responder course April 14-21, at the Schoodic Education and Research Center.

The intensive backcountry medical training course will show students how to deal with medical emergencies when they are miles from help and dialing 911 is not an option. The course is recommended for all outdoor professionals and enthusiasts who spend time in remote areas. Graduates will be certified by Wilderness Medical Associates.

For tuition and logistical information, call Michelle Bierman at 288-1326.
