A Quest is a treasure hunt-style poem in which the writers lead the visitor to special places on the property. The poems have movement clues to take the visitor from place to place and educational clues that teach about aspects of each property. The writing experience allows students to research unique features of a local property, demonstrate their knowledge in a poem, and share information with people in the community. This article discusses how this approach was implemented through the collaborative efforts of eight conservation properties on Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, and the local high school. Student's researched the eight properties and produced a collective guidebook based on what they had learned.
