Hanover Conservancy’s 60th Anniversary Celebration

October 5, 2021

This past Saturday we held our 60th anniversary celebration at the Dartmouth Rivercrest field across from our office at 71 Lyme Rd in Hanover. 76 people came out to help celebrate 60 years of community conservation with Hanover Conservancy and we had a chance to hear stories from fellow community members. It was very heartwarming to be able to capture a photo with past and present board members from 1961 till now. We also had the opportunity to recognized our key partners.

  • Russell Hirschler- Upper Valley Trails Alliance
  • Julia Griffin & Rob Houseman- Town of Hanover
  • J.T. Horn- Trust for Public Land
  • Betsy McGean- Trust for Public Land & former president 

A huge thank you to our event sponsors!

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

Norman Overlook at Mink Brook

September 25, 2019

In 1999, Bob led the Council’s effort to protect the 112-acre Mink Brook Nature Preserve, then slated to become a 32-lot subdivision. In 2019, the 20th anniversary of that daunting and ultimately successful project, the Conservancy dedicated the Norman Overlook to Bob and his vision for our community.
