Get some fresh air and exercise… and give back to an amazing park that serves tens of thousands of visitors each year. Depending on current needs, you will help maintain the trails or remove invasive weeds that threaten the forest. Please wear sturdy shoes (no sandals) and long pants. If you have a favorite pair of gardening gloves, please bring them. Please bring at least a liter of water as well. We will provide all the tools and training you’ll need. No experience necessary. When you sign up, we’ll let you know the start location at least a day in advance. Thanks to Ruth for leading this event. Do you want to learn what it takes to lead an event?

If you would like to explore the Blue Hills Reservation, meet new people, and sample some delicious beers, please join us! The hike will be about a two hour, moderately paced trek covering about 3 miles. Participants who are 21 years and older will have the opportunity to visit Widowmaker Brewing to enjoy some cold ones after the hike. Beer may be purchased at the brewery. Bring water, bug spray, sunscreen, and sturdy hiking shoes or boots (no open-toed shoes!). Steady rain cancels the event.
This event will be part of an ongoing series in collaboration with Widowmaker Brewing in Braintree!

If the event is full, please sign up for the waitlist (the second item on the form below) to be contacted in the case of cancellations.
