Join DCR and the Friends of Breakheart Reservation to support Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) Park Serve Day in Saugus at Breakheart Reservation, Saturday, May 17 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m..

Breakheart Reservation is a 640-acre hardwood forest with jagged, rocky outcroppings, two freshwater lakes, and a rambling section of the Saugus River. Seven rocky hills, over 200 feet high, provide vistas of Boston, southern New Hampshire and central Massachusetts. An extensive trail system through the woodlands guides visitors to various areas of the reservation. Fishing in Silver and Pearce Lakes, hiking the trails and birdwatching by the Saugus River are popular year-round activities.

The work on Park Serve Day will include trail maintenance work, brush clearing, trash pickup and perhaps some painting and remarking of blazes on several popular trails, including the Flume Trail and Upper Lakes Area. Volunteers will be divided into groups for specific trails and activities and guided by DCR personnel. Please dress appropriately and bring work gloves, sturdy shoes or boots and tools if you have them

Drinks and water will be provided. Free lunch provided by Friends of Breakheart Reservation at 1 p.m.
