Our Program

South Shore Quests was formed in 1998 by Dick Norton to encourage exploration of the outdoors through the use of clue-directed walks through local public lands and parks. Today we maintain approximately 25 trails in Braintree, Weymouth, Hingham, Hull, Cohasset, Norwell, Pembroke, and Marshfield.

Weir River Watershed Association

In 2004, South Shore Quests was adopted by the Weir River Watershed Association. A watershed is the area of land that catches rain and snow and drains into a marsh, stream, river, lake or groundwater. Watersheds connect communities. All of the Quests in this booklet are located in watersheds.

Don't forget to look for the wonders of nature along the trails; plant species, insects and signs of wild life.
