3 hikers violated trail closure protecting peregrine falcons' nesting sites in Acadia National Park, potentially facing charges.
Acadia National Park is seeking public help to identify three hikers who violated a trail closure to protect the peregrine falcons' nesting sites and habitat. The Precipice Trail closure, which is marked and widely publicized, is in place from May to October to safeguard the federally protected species under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, as human disturbances can lead to nest abandonment and harm to chicks. Those found to have violated the closure could face charges.
