Friends of BMBCL is working to create a variety of events including guided hikes, speaker series, workshops, stewardship training and more.
Our guided hikes for those who might want to explore the woods but who would feel more comfortable in a group with others leading the way. If you want to join in, check out the Guided Hikes Calendar below.
Beginning in February 2023, we will launch our new speaker series HRM’s Big Backyard. Click the tab below for more details.
Stay tuned and visit this page as we grow and plan for 2023.

Limited spaces available!
The role of a Trail Steward will be to monitor activity of other hikers on the trails within the park. Trail Stewards will be expected to engage hikers, where appropriate, and in a non-confrontational way, look for opportunities to educate hikers on appropriate trail use. Trail Stewards are expected to help maintain the trails by picking up garbage and may be asked to assist in rehabilitating trail damage caused by overuse.
This training is being provided through the Bluff Wilderness Trail Association. In return, the association asks that any time you hike through one of their trails you submit an incident report to them, if required. Incident reporting will be discussed at the training sessions.
By applying to participate in the Trail Stewardship training sessions you are committing to assisting with the Stewardship Program for the Blue Mountain – Birch Cove Lakes Regional Wilderness Park.
