Consider biking – we'll have extra bike racks.


  • On George Street, park only on the schoolyard side, not the residential side.
  • Along Lowell Avenue by the School's main entrance, staff parking spaces are open for forest participants.
  • Side streets (marked in pink here) generally allow 2 hour parking, so within a 2 block area there should be plenty of parking. Please put a note in the windshield: FOREST
  • Spaces at DPW will also be available and marked out as Forest Parking.

What to Bring What to Bring
