Thank you for participating in the 12th annual Hanover Trails Challenge. More than 120 people registered for this year’s Challenge, including individuals, families, and groups of friends . We hope everyone enjoyed getting outdoors and exploring some or all of our featured trails this summer. New for this year, we have special finisher bandanas for everyone who submitted a completed checklist by the deadline. These are available for pick-up at the Hanover Conservancy office at 71 Lyme Road, or out at our events this fall. Limited in-town delivery may be possible, let us know if you are having trouble connecting with us in-person!
From our stack of completed checklists, we drew names for our raffle on September 26. All winners have been notified and prizes mailed. Congratulations to our lucky winners: Diane and Eric, Kathleen, Debra, Catherine and Joseph, Ken and family, Martha and Lindsey, Daniel and Ellie, Penni, Deborah, Laura, Mert, Gary, Heather, and Peter and Silvia! Please join us in thanking these local businesses for donating raffle prizes: King Arthur Baking Co., Blue Sky Restaurant Group, Ramuntos Brick and Brew, Stateline Sports, Base Camp Café, Umpleby’s Bakery and Café, Hubert’s Family Outfitters, Main Street Kitchens, Molly’s Restaurant, and the Nugget Theater.
Did you find a new favorite trail this summer? Would you like to help us keep it cared for and protected for future generations? Become one of our adopt-a-trail volunteer stewards! Volunteers help us by providing an extra set of eyes, ears, and hands on the trail. If you would like to learn more about this program and how you can get started, please email program manager Barry Matthews at bmatthews@hanoverconservancy.org.
Thank you again for spending some of your time this summer hiking with the Hanover Conservancy! We hope to see you out on the trails or at an event soon!
