Calendar
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"]

Looking for a new way to enjoy the outdoors and connect with fellow readers? This summer, we’re bringing stories to life on the trails with the Book Club with the Friends of the Blue Hills — a unique book club that pairs scenic hikes with thoughtful conversations.
Join us as we take a light, three-mile hike through the beautiful Blue Hills Reservation and pause along the way to chat about the book we’re reading together. Whether you’re an avid hiker, a passionate reader, or just looking for a fun and relaxed way to meet new people, this is the perfect chance to stretch your legs and your mind.
Bring water, wear comfy shoes, and come ready to talk books and enjoy nature!
All are welcome — even if you didn’t finish the book!
If you are interested in the event, please fill out the form and we will email you when the registration is open.
