We do have to consider the regions originally intended which are northern central MA and southern NH but will venture out now and then on camping trips or to the beac …

Welcome, and thank you so much for your interest in our beloved bully breeds! A "bully breed" is a slang term that loosely refers to any dog breed of bulldog ancestry, chief among them, the American pit bull terrier. The NEBBC has a special affinity for any breed that is discriminated against. All breeds and ages are welcome at our events! You need not have a bully to be part of our group, only a love of them!  So grab your pooch and join us for a walk, hike, fundraiser, training class or play d …

Like most greyhounds, my big beautiful brindle boy, Jacoby, loves other greys immediately. I thought I'd like to let him meet other greyhounds in the area. We can walk, we can play, we can chase. And we can make new friends -- greyhound and human alike. Please note: This group is meant for greyhounds and their humans only, as greys typically get nervous around other dog breeds. We'll stick to walking in parks where the terrain isn't so bad until the winter thaws out a bit! Be sure to check out t …

Walking barefoot through nature is a fun and rewarding way to exercise your feet. When hiking barefoot the feel of cool dirt, smooth rocks, soft pine needles, and crisp leaves all add to the delight of the hike. You feel connected to the earth. In the absence of dry leaves you are silent. We are a group of barefoot hikers located in Eastern Mass who enjoy getting together for hikes of varying intensity. Whether you are a seasoned barefoot hiker, a beginner, or even if you've never hiked, come jo …

Bike Walk Connecticut is changing the culture of transportation through advocacy and education to make bicycling and walking safe, feasible and attractive for a healthier, cleaner Connecticut.

Calling all Great Pyrs, Berners, Newfies, St. Bernards, Danes, Shepards, Bouviers, Wolfhounds, Mastiffs, Big Labs and whatever-mixes! Let's get together with our BIG DOGS and have some fun times. I'd like to find a fenced-in area where we can go off-leash safely but for now we'll have to overrun a dog park or two! I'm also thinking of a combination of walks on the Blackstone Bikepath, fund-raising walks and any other events of interest to members. I would like to set Sundays at 1:00PM as a regul …

What is the name of that flower?  Hey, is that poison ivy?  What kind of animals live here?

Anyone with an interest in meeting new friends in a casual non competitive active environment is welcome! Walks will take place in and around Worcester, we will look for a variety of places to explore together.

I'm calling this a "mini" pub crawl because it involves visiting one restaurant....not multiple bars.  There are so many restaurants in the Shrewsbury Street area of Worcester, for starters, that I have not tried, so I thought I would combine exercise with trying a different restaurant each walk.  We will start at the restaurant of choice (suggestions are welcomed), go for a walk and end up back at the restaurant for appetizers and beverages.  Let's get together for a walk...approximately 1 to 2 …

Any one interested in walking, running, or bicycling. Let's keep our brains and bodies healthy and active! We walk outside all year long, I try to plan routes for us that are on side roads that are wide enough for a group of people and that don't have a lot of traffic. During the summer months I post bike rides and hikes as well. I love this group for the peer support of getting out there and making the effort, not to mention getting to meet lots of people from my local community, which I find …

“This is a group for anyone interested in learning how to identify, harvest, and prepare edible and/or medicinal plants that grow in our yards and in the 'wild'. All skills levels are welcome, so we all can share what we know and ask questions about what we don't know. I started this group because I loved leading these walks in Connecticut and now that I live in Massachusetts, I'd like to continue here to teach (and learn) more about the true value of many plants commonly considered just as weed …

This is a group for dog owners who like to walk their dog at Great Brook Farm in Carlisle. I enjoy taking my Boston terrier for walks there and thought it would be fun to form a pack walk. My dog isn't ready for off leash walks yet by herself but has done well off leash in a pack. I'd like to walk on Saturday or Sunday mornings. Let's socialize the dogs and socialize ourselves while we enjoy the outdoors and get some exercise!  We aren't discriminating here, let's bring dogs of all sizes! ;) I'm …

This Meetup is for anyone who loves bully breeds (American Pit Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Boxers, etc.) and wants a chance to meet up with other bully breed owners and socialize their dogs with pack walks and off-leash hikes/walking adventures, and an occasional meetup at a dog park or dog-related event going on in the area. I look forward to meeting responsible bully breed owners that can restore the tarnished reputations these breeds have.

We are Responsible Bully Breed Owners and Our Well-Behaved Dogs Changing Minds One Walk At A Time. We walk so residents of a city can see bully breed owners who are not as the media portrays us: thugs, delinquents, drug dealers, dog fighters. We walk so residents of a city can see how well-behaved our dogs are - walking without any aggression or vicious attacks. We walk so people can see and hopefully we do change minds! Our walks started in Massachusetts and the goal is to walk in all the citie …

This club is intended for people who desire fast-paced walks to music (personal IPods), that will range from 3-10 miles in length. At about 16-18 minutes per mile, the walks will take place in various areas of Longmeadow as well as at Skinner Mountain in South Hadley. I am also planning overnight camping trips in Cape Cod (Nickerson State Park), where we will continue our fast-paced walks on the seemingly endless shores of Nauset Beach. Of interest, is that on selected walks, we will do very sho …
