Self-guided mini-tours that share the Upper Valley’s unique “sense of place”

 

Questing is a place-based education model of creating and exchanging treasure hunts in order to collect and share your community’s distinct natural and cultural heritage — your special places and stories. Follow the clues to the treasure box. Inside the treasure box, you will discover more information about the site, a rubber stamp, stamp pad, a sign-in field journal, and a pencil. Sign your name in the book, adding a few notes or a sketch from your walk, and collect an impression of the stamp as a memento of your journey. Then, carefully re-hide the box exactly where you found it.

There are over 160 Valley Quests in the Upper Valley of Vermont and New Hampshire! Four of those quests are located at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park! 

• Chipmunk Quest at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Park – Vital Communities 

• The Forest Quest – Vital Communities 

• Sustainability Quest for Elementary Students – Vital Communities 

• Sustainability Quest for High Schoolers – Vital Communities
