Osher participants are raving about the Hanover Conservancy’s classes

Adair Mulligan and Gail McPeek have finished up another successful Osher session and the participants can’t stop raving about it! See what they had to say below:

“Gail and Adair are both talented teachers. It is a pleasure to listen to them; they are wonderful at answering all questions.”

“So knowledgeable!!!!!!! Learning by seeing!”

“Gail went above and beyond providing make-up hikes, due to the heavy rain on the day of our final hike.”

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.
