What an amazing turnout for the official opening of the new Mink Brook crossing!

Thank you to all who came out this morning and celebrated with us—and to the many volunteers, community members, neighbors, and partners who made this new log bridge possible. We hope it will keep your feet dry and the brook ecosystem safe for many years to come!

Brrr! It's a great morning to think about cozying

Brrr! It's a great morning to think about cozying up at some indoor programs this fall!

On Thursday, November 2, our executive director Adair Mulligan will deliver a lecture at the Hanover Historical Society's Annual Meeting. Join us at 6 pm at the @howelibrary or online via Zoom for a presentation of The Connecticut: New England's Great River.

The largest river in New England rises in a small beaver pond near the Canadian border and flows over 400 miles through four states, falling 2,670 feet to the sea through America's only watershed-based national fish and wildlife refuge. Adair Mulligan leads an armchair tour of this great river in New Hampshire and Vermont, exploring its history and natural beauty through the seasons and among the communities that have sprung up along its banks.

More information and a Zoom link can be found here: https://hanoverhistory.org/upcoming-programs/.

These awesome volunteers helped us clean up an old farm dump on a special piece of property near the @appalachiantrail on Moose Mountain. We can’t wait to tell you more soon!

What great weather for a #TrailThursday! While you

What great weather for a #TrailThursday! While you’re out in the woods this fall, make sure you stay visible and informed about where you’re visiting. Many publicly accessible lands are open for mixed use, including hunting.

New Hampshire deer season runs until December 15. We’ll be putting loaner vests out at several properties in town where hunting is permitted, including the Trescott lands, Mayor-Niles Forest, and Greensboro Ridge. Feel free to borrow one on your visit, just don’t forget to return it when you go!

Enjoy the last of the fall color, and stay seen!

Another #FieldworkFriday in the books at Mink Broo

Another #FieldworkFriday in the books at Mink Brook!

Our all-star volunteers put in a solid day of work on the new Mink Brook crossing. We’re still a little ways off from an official opening, so please stay off the log until we’ve completed our work. And stay tuned for info on an opening celebration!
