Go For A Walk
History
The Sherborn Forest & Trail Association founded in March, 1967, is a family-oriented volunteer organization whose objective is to promote enjoyment and appreciation of the considerable natural open spaces and diverse wildlife in the town of Sherborn and surrounding areas. The Association sponsors a variety of outdoor recreational events such as guided walks through public lands, hiking, canoe excursions and a hunter pace. Members are equestrians, hikers, cross-country skiers, birdwatchers, canoers, cyclists and nature enthusiasts.
The Association, which maintains trails and also raises and donates funds to assist in the purchase and maintenance of open spaces, has an ongoing commitment to protecting access to trails and preserving trail connections.
Highlighted Activities
Trail Signs
We are working to develop a consistent sign program across town to help people know what's public, what's private, and how to get where you'd like to go.
You can see the pilot of this in the Bailey reservation where signs have been installed when you're heading off public land, and at strategic locations to help you along.

I should be glad if all the meadows on the earth were left in a wild state, if that were the consequence of men’s beginning to redeem themselves.
