BOSTON (WBZ NewsRadio) — Black Friday is traditionally a time for consumerism — a shop 'til you drop extravaganza to save on presents and other deals ahead of the winter holidays. The Trustees of Reservations are floating a different way to spend the day after Thanksgiving: "Green Friday."
They're offering guided hikes at many Trustees properties on Friday, including:
- The Brickyard in Chilmark on Martha's Vineyard (9 a.m.)
- Lyman Reserve in Bourne, Plymouth and Wareham ( 9 a.m.)
- Weir River Farm in Hingham (10 a.m., child friendly)
- Slocums River Reserve in Dartmouth ( 1 p.m., child friendly)
- Crane Estate in Ipswich (1 p.m.)
And while it may be an unorthodox way to spend Black Friday, there is one normal thing about these hikes: they'll cost you money. Ticket prices are $20 for adults and $10 for children. Preregistration is required.
The Trustees are asking any takers to wear appropriate shoes, dress warmly and bring water and snacks.
