“To free us from the expectations of others, to give us back to ourselves–there lies the great, singular power of self-respect.” — Joan Didion 📷: @willprapestis #wildanddomestic #suchgreatheights #joandidion #joandidionquote #bostonig #exploreboston #middlesexfells #middlesexfellsreservation #edrecovery #hiking #edrecoverywarrior #mindfulness #mindfulmoment #nature #darkacademiaaesthetic #darkacademia #lostinthewoods #writersofinstagram #writingcommunity (at Middlesex Fells Reservation) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdzDSOuLUuj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today in 1898 the Massachusetts Legislature established the first state park, which was Mount Greylock. Originally turned over to the state as 400 Acres, the park has grown to over 12,000 Acres, and the park system has grown to over 285,000 Acres! 

Thanks to @massdcr for all they do for our parks. 

Locally we have quite an extensive system of trails and conserved properties, look them up at: http://www.mass.gov/eea/agencies/dcr/massparks/places-to-go/
