The Hanover Conservancy is pleased to open our conserved land to the public. We invite you to enjoy our beautiful properties and trails. And thank you to our volunteers for maintaining the trails!
Please contact the Conservancy with any comments or concerns about a property, or if you observe any inappropriate uses.
We would also love to see any photos taken at our properties. E-mail your photo as an attachment to info@hanoverconservancy.org and we might feature it on our website!
Permitted Uses
- Pack in, pack out. Leave No Trace principles should be followed by all users. No receptacles for waste are available on our properties, as they invite animals.
- Dogs under leash or voice control are permitted on all Conservancy properties. Owners should pick up after their pets, especially along trails, and not allow their animals to stray or chase wildlife.
- Research may take place on the property if it has been approved by Conservancy staff. The applicant should file a written request with the Council office. A report on the information gathered should be shared with Management Committees. No research activities should degrade the resources of the property.
- Organized groups may use our properties upon giving notice to the Conservancy staff. The staff shall provide guidance so that the group leadership understands the permitted uses and restrictions on the property.
Prohibited Uses
- NO bikes, tracked or wheeled vehicles, fires, hunting, camping, combat games (including paintball), hoofed domestic animals (including horses), or removal of vegetation are allowed on any Hanover Conservancy properties.
- No structures, temporary or permanent, are allowed.
- No dumping of any kind, including yard and household wastes.
