Explore Boston's Urban Wilds
Urban wilds are vital components of Boston's open space system, offering a serene escape from the bustling city life while playing a crucial role in mitigating the impacts of climate change. These natural landscapes, once abundant across the city, provide a glimpse into Boston’s past—a time when salt marshes, meadows, and pristine streams defined the area. Today, these urban wilds preserve the remnants of these ecosystems, serving as outdoor classrooms and sanctuaries for native flora and fauna.
A Journey Through Time and Nature
Join us at Forty Flights to explore the city's 29 urban wilds, managed by the City of Boston. These sites offer a peaceful retreat and an opportunity to learn about the natural world. Whether you're a local resident or a visitor, our guided tours and educational programs, developed in collaboration with the Massachusetts Audubon Society, will deepen your understanding and appreciation of these precious habitats.
Be a Steward of Nature
As you embark on your adventure, we encourage you to be a responsible steward of the urban wilds. By respecting the rules set by the Boston Conservation Commission, you help preserve these spaces for future generations. Your visit supports the ongoing efforts of the Boston Urban Wilds Initiative, a movement rooted in the environmental advocacy of the 1970s, dedicated to the conservation and protection of the city's natural areas.
Join Us in Protecting Boston’s Natural Heritage
Despite the challenges of urban development, organizations like the Boston Natural Areas Fund, the Parks and Recreation Department, and the MA Department of Conservation and Recreation are committed to safeguarding these vital habitats. With your support and the collaboration of community groups, we strive to maintain the beauty and ecological integrity of Boston's urban wilds.

"There are actually 70 stairs lol and they need repair here and there but overall good place to get you pumping!!"
"So excited to see this in the new show "City on a Hill", I used to live about 1 block away!"
"The steps from Mead to North Mead Streets. In between Russell St and Bunker Hill St. (From what I heard growing up here, is that there used to be forty flights, but not anymore. It's still called that though)"
"Sweet flight of stairs! Definitely worth working into your run!"
"Charlestown Overlook? We always called this "40 Flights" a long set of concrete stairs that go from St Francis De Sales Church on Bunker Hill to Russell Street. The walk-a-round takes more time, but sometimes it is easier than climbing up the stairs."
