FREE and great for all ages!
Hikers and hunters, please note that the woods will be busier than normal this Sunday, October 14th.

Both the 5- and 7-mile hiking routes for the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth (CHaD) HERO event wind their way through the Mink Brook Nature Preserve. Volunteers will be directing HERO hikers at major junctions from approximately 10-2.
We’re putting a lot of faith in the forecast today- this space will be updated if we’re forced to postpone until tomorrow. See you at 4:30!

Join us at the main trailhead parking at the top of Velvet Rocks Dr. on Thursday, October 4th for live music, refreshments and a brief history of this conservation success. (RAIN DATE: Friday, Oct. 5th)
Join David Merker and Gail McPeek on the summit of Balch Hill this Saturday at 11 to see cruising hawks on their fall migration route.
BYO binoculars; great for kids!
We’re excited to be featured in the fall issue of Here in Hanover magazine! Pick up your copy around town or share the article with friends online.

Come explore the lovely world of some of our local butterflies with Bill Shepard at the Etna Library on Monday, August 13th at 3:00.
Look at specimens and learn about moth & butterfly resources before heading outside to the Hayes Farm Park & Nan and Allen King Bird Sanctuary to try your hand at catching a few!
This fun & informative event is recommended for ages 8+, but all are welcome. Event includes a short, easy walk behind the library.
This Sunday, June 17th from 10:30-noon, join Lee Steppacher for this peaceful walking meditation at one of our less-visited properties, the Tunis Brook Mill Lot. Directions here.

Take a moment to pause in the midst of a busy summer weekend to enjoy an easy, mostly silent mindfulness in nature experience. The trail is a very gentle ~0.5 mi. each way, with time to sit individually by the shaded brook. First-timers and daily practitioners alike are welcome!
Bring whatever you need to sit comfortably for 20 minutes; bug spray, towels and a few camp chairs will be provided for your convenience. Long pants and sleeves are recommended to ward off insects. Sunday morning will be very warm, but we’ll be shaded and near water much of the time. Questions? Call Courtney at (904) 536-9682.
