Join 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.

Shelter Building

Sunday, November 15th from 11 am to 1 pm

Step into the wild at the Graylag Nature Preserve for a hands-on Shelter Building workshop, led by Aaron Gibeau. Open to all experience levels, participants will learn the basics of how to build a shelter in the wilderness- right here at Graylag. Aaron will cover how to make a lean-to (with a heat reflection wall for cold weather) as well as A-frame shelters out of simple materials like dead branches, leaves, tarps, and rope.

Yoga at Graylag

"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.
