Explore South Shore: June is National Rivers Month! If you’d like to explore Marshfield’s Green Harbor River, Peter Igo Park is a great spot to know. It’s still a bit of a walk from the parking area to the water, but when you get there, you’ll find a fully-accessible kayak ramp. The park also features basketball, tennis/pickleball, beach volleyball, and bocce courts, a small playground. Ample on-site parking at 29 Marshall Ave., off Route 139.

Explore South Shore: Enjoy a short walk this weekend at the Wildlands Trust’s Stewart/Person Preserve in Kingston! The 27-acre property features a mile of well-tended trails with views of a woodland stream, a historic fish ladder, and two mill ponds. Keep your eye on this spot. The dam that holds the pond in place is slated for removal, a change that will positively, and significantly, impact fish passage in the Jones River watershed! Limited roadside parking on Sylvia Place Road.
