Happenings in the Forest

Forest Fete for Those Who Love the Woods

September 07, 2021

On Friday, September 3 the Great Mountain Forest event committee, board, and staff turned the Shelter on Golf Drive into a life-sized fairy house with twinkling lights, fresh-cut flowers, and a roaring fire in the stone hearth. Conversation flowed freely around the center table bountifully and beautifully presented by Moon Cloud in Great Barrington.

GMF is grateful for all the hard work that made the event possible and for the support of those who love the Forest.

Thanks to all who attended and filled the shelter with gratitude and conviviality. And thank you to all of you who contribute to the Forest in myriad ways. The Forest is here—for you. And it’s obvious you’re here for the Forest.
