Friend's of Earl's Trails is a trail conservation group aimed at sustainability and access. We maintain a set of trails nestled along the Holyoke Mountain range in Amherst and Hadley.
Earl's Trails are a shared effort with Massachusetts DCR, Amherst College, Hampshire College, Kestrel, and other local landowners with our group functioning as the primary caretakers. Our volunteer trail stewards adopt trails, and are responsible for overall upkeep, as well as managing new changes or updates to adapt to the landscape as it changes over time.
