Friends Group

The Friends of the Hopkinton Land Trust is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to supporting the Land Trust’s mission through outreach, stewardship, and community engagement. The Friends Group organizes volunteer work parties to blaze, clear, and maintain trails across conserved properties—helping to keep these natural spaces accessible and enjoyable for all. They also lead walks, talks, and hands-on programs on topics ranging from bats and birds to beavers and forest ecology. Often partnering with local experts and organizations, the Friends Group brings people together to learn, explore, and connect with the land.

Volunteer Opportunities

The Friends Group organizes volunteer work parties for trail maintenance, blazing new trails, and other stewardship tasks. It's a great way to get outside, connect with like-minded individuals, and help care for Hopkinton’s open spaces.
