A Special Place 
Show and tell about places in nature that were, or are, important to you. Big majestic places, or everyday places.

Solitary Forest and Bubbling Brook

Who: Kevin
Where: Norris Reservation, Norwell

Why: This small reservation is a perfect escape from a long day. The trail winds through a mixed forest, skirting a small pond, and a bubbling brook. If you hike back along the brook there is a secret log perfect to rest and think on. The trail winds toward the North River, and follows this water route once used by Native Americans. American Holly trees line the path. It follows towards a boathouse, and continues back in through a solitary forest. It is especially beautiful in the winter when the marsh grass along the river freezes up. Also wonderful at sunset. The best place on the South Shore to be close to nature!
