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.
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.
Graylag Challenge: Swim across the Pond
Saturday, September 13, 10 amJoin us for a 3/4-mile swim on Wild Goose Pond from Graylag to Camp Storer and back – a great opportunity to enjoy a quiet pond with no public access! All funds will help complete Lakeside Pavilion. We ask that each swimmer raise $100 in pledges in order to participate. Thank you to our sponsors, West Environmental, Inc. and Anytime Fitness!
Botanical Blueprints
Saturday, September 20, 10 AM - 12 PMDiscover one of the earliest photographic techniques while surrounded by the beauty of Graylag Nature Preserve. In this beginner-friendly, hands-on workshop, we’ll explore the grounds to gather natural materials like leaves and flowers, then use sunlight and light-sensitive chemistry to create blue-toned prints. Open to adults and teens, no experience necessary!
"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.
