News of the Fells

Celebrate Spring by Volunteering!

Looking for ways to give back to the Fells as the weather warms? Join us on this sunny and warm Thursday, May 5th from 2:30 - 4:30 pm to remove garlic mustard with a group. 

Adopt a Trail!

Do you walk, bike, or run the Fells and are looking for a way to give back? Become a Trail Adopter with us! Help us keep our trail system safe, clean, and sustainable by signing up to regularly patrol and maintain a trail segment in the Fells.

Want to help collect Fells data?

Join Earthwise Aware and the Friends as a participatory scientist to monitor plants, insects, habitat fragmentation, usage, dog waste, and more. 

This data will help us understand how climate and urbanization affect plant and animal life in our beloved forest. 

We're Hiring!

We are seeking fun and dynamic Camp Counselors to join our team for the 2022 Fells Forest Camp season. Camp counselors co-lead positive and enriching outdoor experiences for children by encouraging self-directed play and exploration in a woodland setting. Help children discover the wonder of nature as they splash in streams, hike through forests, build fairy houses, and so much more.
