Directions
Our address is 333 S County Rd, Drury, MA 01343. Since cellular reception can be spotty in the area, we recommend loading the directions before you depart from your home. You can find more detailed directions for your reference here. If your group is traveling in multiple cars, please let the others know the timeline and caravan if you can. When you arrive, please follow South County Road until you see the "Welcome House" sign and driveway on the left. The main parking area is directly in front of the welcome house on the left when you arrive, we can fit 4 cars here. There is overflow parking across the street beside the barn, if needed.
Travel and Timing
We will expect your group to arrive between 9:45 and 10:00 am; please do not plan to arrive earlier as we will be hosting other guests in the forest and preparing for your visit.
Our location has ample parking, but we encourage caravanning if possible. North Adams is about a 20-minute drive away and makes a great meeting spot if you'd like to gather and drive in together.
Forest Details
We have completed our site preparations at your tree and the forest is beautiful this season. We have placed benches at our Memorial Table and the tree so there are places for people to sit comfortably throughout the visit. We have walking sticks, poles, and our forest vehicle available for anyone who would like mobility assistance.
We recommend wearing layered clothing and sturdy, closed-toe shoes. We will be navigating some uneven terrain, and the weather can be unpredictable in the forest; we want everyone to be as comfortable as possible. Please check the weather for Drury, MA, but keep in mind the weather in the forest can be unpredictable.
Please note that the entire forest is a non-smoking/vaping area, and plan accordingly.
All of your details have been passed to Chad and our Berkshires Forest team and they look forward to welcoming you and your guests to the forest and hosting a beautiful ceremony for Beverly. If you need assistance next Saturday, you can reach them at 413-273-8271.
Wishing you all safe travels.
