A place to connect with nature, art, and one another.
Graylag's StoryJoin the Graylag community
The Friends of Graylag are neighbors and community members who provide extra support to the nature preserve through a donation or by volunteering their time. In addition to helping Graylag thrive, Friends receive a pass that allows year-round access to the trails, an early reservation window for the summer season, and invitation to special Friends events. We hope you will join us.
Primitive and Camp Skills
Saturday, November 8, 11 am - 1 pmJoin us for a hands-on Primitive Skills Workshop, designed for anyone interested in building their practical outdoor know-how and self-reliance. We will practice fire building, creating shelters from natural found materials or tarps, and the basics of rope making. Bring a lunch to enjoy after the workshop around the fire you helped build. It’s the perfect day for learning new skills, connecting with others, and enjoying the beauty of the outdoors. Registration full! Waitlist available.
Yoga at Graylag
Tuesday mornings, 9:30 - 10:45Mary Ellen Shannon, certified yoga teacher and Reiki Master, as well as long-time friend and steward of the land here at Graylag, offers an all-levels Hatha flow yoga class on Tuesday mornings. Classes include relaxation, meditation, asanas, and guided breathing. Come occasionally or come for all sessions. Class size is limited -- please call or email to reserve a space.
Help build Lakeside Pavilion!
Help us transform the preserve’s underutilized oldest building into a new open-air pavilion overlooking Wild Goose Pond. Lakeside Pavilion will be a place where visitors in all seasons can enjoy educational, cultural, and social activities. Unlike the other gathering areas at Graylag, each level of the new space will be wheelchair accessible directly from our driveway. The pavilion will house an ADA-accessible restroom as well.
"Our time at Graylag was exactly what we had hoped for — an oasis of natural calm and beauty that seemed a world away from the constant interference of technology and the hubbub of people that make up our everyday world."
— A Graylag guest
Experience the peace of Graylag by staying in one of our comfortable, beautifully furnished cabins.
A Graylag stay is a great choice for families and friends who want to leave everyday life behind and get close to the natural world of the New England woodlands. Swimming, boating, sailing, fishing, and hiking will energize your days, and quiet starry evenings are punctuated only with the calls of owls and loons.
