Volunteer to Care for the Trails and Forest

Sign up for trail maintenance, invasive removal and trash pick up!

2024 Trail Maintenance Events

Each year, people like you help to care for over 125 miles of trails and 7,000 acres of forest in the Blue Hills Reservation.  See the event dates and sign up on our Calendar page!

How do I get involved?

We are excited to invite you to participate in trail events!  To participate in a trail maintenance event, please:

  • Read and sign the electronic waiver (you just need to sign once for this year)
  • Sign up for a trail event in advance, on the Calendar page.
  • Bring gardening gloves if you have them.
  • Bring plenty of water.
  • Wear long pants and sturdy shoes, like sneakers or hiking boots.
  • Meet people and have fun!

At trail events, you work under the supervision of a trail leader.  If you are interested in working on a specific section of trail on your own schedule, we offer the Adopt-A-Trail program.
