A big thank you to all who gave to the Friends of the Blue Hills on Giving Tuesday, because the park has given us so much! Giving Tuesday donations go directly back to helping the park we love by... Clearing the trails so we can all enjoy the park’s natural wonders... Removing invasive species that threaten native plants and animals... Advocating for safer hiking at trail crossings and more! https://friendsofthebluehills.org/givingtuesday/
It's #GivingTuesday! Do something you can feel good about and donate to the Friends of the Blue Hills. See link in bio or visit: friendsofthebluehills.org/givingtuesday/
When you give for #givingtuesday your gift will be matched… and go twice as far to care for the Blue Hills’ trails and forests! Check the link in our bio… and give today!
It's a good weekend to unplug and recharge. May we suggest an adventure in the Blue Hills? . . . #LoveTheBlueHills #hikebluehills #hikema #FriendsoftheBlueHills #bluehillsreservation #hikingtrails #optoutside

Limited archery hunting will be permitted in certain designated areas of the Blue Hills on Monday - Thursday between November 15th through December 2nd. From the DCR: General public access for recreation will NOT be restricted in those areas in which hunting will take place. Members of the general public who choose to enter those areas in which hunting will be taking place are advised to take proper precautions by wearing blaze orange clothing, vests, and hats.
We love your furry friends! But please remember that dogs must remain on-leash while visiting the reservation. This important guideline helps to ensure that other hikers will feel comfortable when they meet you on the trail. It also prevents your dog from chasing wildlife and reduces the habitat damage that occurs when dogs run off the trail. Dogs can leave behind a predator scent that disrupts wildlife and may hinder nesting and feeding activities. Keeping your dog on a leash also helps to ensure his safety, since the leash keeps him under control and by your side. Unleashed dogs can quickly run off when tracking a scent and may disappear from your view very quickly. Always use a leash so that you and your dog will finish your hike together safely and can hike again at another time!
