The History of Conservation in Hanover

April 9, 2021

The History of Conservation in Hanover…or, how to string a green necklace, bead by bead.
Tuesday, April 27, 7:00pm – via Zoom
Sponsored by the Hanover Conservancy and Hanover Historical Society
Speaker: Adair Mulligan, Executive Director, Hanover Conservancy

We’ll take an armchair tour of Hanover and its many now-protected spaces to celebrate Earth Week.
Beginning with a look back at the bad old days of water pollution, environmental degradation, and the
back to the land movement, we’ll go forward with the founding 60 years ago of the Hanover
Conservation Council (now Hanover Conservancy), and the blossoming of conservation efforts in this
beautiful town, from the Connecticut River to the peaks of Moose Mountain. Well-illustrated with maps
and images, we’ll reveal the backstory of how the “green necklace” came to be strung around
downtown Hanover, culminating in the protection this year of the 250-acre Mink Brook Community
Forest.

Write your own nature poem

October 21, 2020

Over the summer and early fall, Gail McPeek and Barbara Price invited people who took the Nature Poetry Walk to write a poem for an Etna Library poetry collection.  We are thankful to those who contributed.  Gail has now illustrated them like the poetry walk signs and they are posted on the Etna Library webpage.  Take a look at https://www.hanovernh.org/sites/g/files/vyhlif3226/f/uploads/6_submitted_poems_with_introduction.pdf.  You may decide to send us a poem of your own: send them to Barbara at barbara.prince@hanovernh.org.  You can also find these poems by going to the Etna Library webpage, www.hanovernh.org/etna-library, and clicking on Poems on the left side of the page.

Nature Poetry Walk at Etna Library finished for the fall

September 17, 2020

Our heartfelt thanks to Gail McPeek, former Board member and longtime dedicated volunteer, for putting together the wonderful Nature Poetry Walk at the Etna Library this summer! The Poetry Walk has been removed for fall mowing of the Hayes Farm Park, but we know future StoryWalks will be shared in that wonderful space. Thanks to Barbara Prince at the Etna Library for coordinating this with Gail!

 

Signs for the Nature Poetry Walk at Etna Library are visible in a field of fall flowers and ferns.
