Land Conservation & The Climate Crisis (Zoom Program)

January 31, 2022

Thursday, March 31st @ 7:30pm

How can our communities adapt to pressure from newcomers fleeing its effects elsewhere? How can land conservation help us adapt to a changing climate and mitigate its effects, and what needed to reach the goal of 30% protected by 2030?

Join us for an enlightening evening on Zoom where our presenters will discuss the climate crisis and the role land conservation plays.

Platform: Zoom

Presenters: Elena Mihaly, Vice President of Conservation Law Foundation Vermont and a Senior Attorney; Adair Mulligan, Executive Director of Hanover Conservancy

Spring Trips Postponed

April 17, 2020

We’re disappointed to postpone our trips until we can safely get together again. Look for a new self-guided Hike of the Month in our May e-news.

If you’re headed out, please remember:

Enjoy your companions from a distance
Leash your dog – uncontrolled dog meetups can make things unsafe for their owners too
If a trailhead parking is full when you arrive, have a Plan B for a trail less traveled
Leave higher elevation and muddy trails until they’ve dried out
The Appalachian Trail is closed for now
