Join us for a day of trail maintenance as we work together to “brush the trails”! Volunteers will help clear overgrown vegetation, remove debris, and improve visibility and safety along the Blue Hills trail system. No prior experience is needed. Just bring your enthusiasm, weather-appropriate clothing, and a willingness to get your hands a little dirty. Tools and guidance will be provided.
This is a great opportunity to give back to the trails you love. You’ll meet fellow outdoor enthusiasts and make a tangible difference in your local environment. Every pair of hands helps, and all are welcome.[gravityform id="61" title="true" description="true"]
Join David for Yoga and a Hike in the Park – Saturday, August 23rd at 8:00 AM!Â
We’ll meet at Fisherman’s Beach at 8:00 AM. Please arrive by 7:50 am and go directly to the beach. Do not wait in the parking lot. From the parking lot, head straight down to the junction at the bottom, then continue straight to reach the beach. If you don’t see us down there, give us a call at (781) 205-0688
Starting your day with a yoga in nature allows you to connect with the outdoors, breathing in fresh air while invigorating your body. Your yoga teacher, Dave Demeo, will guide you through a vinyasa-style yoga class and some breath work. Dave, a resident of Milton, considers the Blue Hills to be his second home, and is excited to help turn the natural beauty of the Blue Hills into your own personal outdoor studio.
Dave uses his history of athletics and traumatic injury to inform his practice as well as his teaching, and he can’t wait to share space with people of all levels and walks of life. This class is designed with neurodivergent individuals in mind offering a supportive, inclusive, and sensory-considerate environment but is open and welcoming to everyone. Any body and every person is welcome! No experience necessary!
Please bring your own yoga mat, or let us know on the sign-in form if you need one provided.
We can’t wait to see you!

On our nature journaling hike, we will become young explorers and scientists. As we walk along the trails, we will use our eyes, ears, and even noses to discover the wonders of nature all around us. We will provide all the journals and drawing materials, so you just need to bring your curiosity. Along the way, we’ll stop to sketch interesting leaves, colorful bugs, or cool animal tracks. No need to be a perfect artist. Just notice what you see and let your imagination and curiosity guide you. It’s going to be a fun adventure, and we’ll explore nature together! And when the hike is over, you can take your journal home and keep exploring, noticing, and drawing the amazing things you find in your own backyard or neighborhood.
