Our parks need more resources.

While Massachusetts is one of the wealthiest states in the U.S., it still ranks last in per capita spending on state and municipal parks. Check out this open letter co-written by our Executive Director, Chris Redfern, to learn more about why our parks need more funding.

Support the Fells this winter!

Thanks to your support, the Friends of the Fells has seen tremendous growth in our ability to protect the Fells’ valuable habitats, flora, and fauna, and to make the Fells a safe and welcoming space for everyone. We hope you'll join us in continuing this work!
