About Backwoods Acadia
At Backwoods Acadia, we believe healthy landscapes grow where forestry, horticulture, and conservation work together. Too often, these fields operate separately — but we're here to change that. Our mission is to provide practical, sustainable solutions that balance ecological stewardship with real-world needs. Whether you need a forest management plan or a landscape design, Backwoods Acadia helps you achieve your goals without compromising the environment.
More than a service provider, Backwoods Acadia is a philosophy. We strive to unite people and place through thriving landscapes, resilient ecosystems, and thoughtful design.
Meet the Founder
Founder Lance Moore brings deep academic and hands-on experience to the work. He holds a B.Sc. in Biology with a focus on botany (Northwest Missouri State University, University of Eastern Finland) and an M.Sc. from the University of Alberta, where he studied forest recovery after fire and harvesting.
Lance has worked with the Connecticut Agricultural Research Station and the National Park Service's Appalachian Highlands network. His roots in horticulture run deep — beginning with over five years at a small nursery, where he learned the heart of landscaping from a passionate couple who inspired his journey.
