Proud supporter of

Through our partnership with Friends of Acadia, we’re proud to help preserve the beauty of Acadia National Park. Since 2002, L.L.Bean has contributed more than $3.5 million to help protect Acadia by supporting youth engagement, scientific research and the Island Explorer bus system, a fleet of over 30 clean, propane-powered buses.

Acadia National Park is the special place it is today thanks to the foresight, generosity and efforts of dedicated conservationists for more than a century. We are pleased to continue our support of Acadia and look forward to inspiring new generations of outdoor enthusiasts.
