Explore On Your Own

The Trustees of Reservations invite you to get out and explore Massachusetts. Go relax on the beach, bike through the woods, have a picnic in the park, or run the kids around until they’re exhausted.

	Early Spring Migrants As spring gets under way, millions of birds will be winging their way back north after spending the winter in Central and South America and the Caribbean. Head to these properties for a first look at a season-long wave of winged travelers.

	First Hikes Whether taking a quick break from a busy day or spending a leisurely afternoon, hiking is an easy and fun way for you to enjoy the outdoors throughout the year.

	Rainy Days Even on rainy days, Trustees properties can make a dull day brighter. Visit one of these properties (which feature either historic houses or natural shelter) for a memorable excursion with your friends or family, rain or shine!

	Low Carb(on) Adventures You don’t have to have a car to enjoy Trustees properties. And, even if you do, why not save gas and fuel emissions by leaving it at home?
