We are truly excited to announce that, at long last, the Adams Farm on Trescott Road is to be protected. The Hanover Conservancy is working with a pair of inspiring landowners to permanently protect the majority of this historic agricultural landscape. Surrounded by the Appalachian Trail corridor in rural Etna, the property offers a spectacular view of Mount Ascutney and is listed in Hanover’s Scenic Locales Report. The Adams Farm has long been a key priority for both the Conservancy and the Town. The new landowners wish to revitalize agriculture on this otherwise highly developable piece of prime farmland. MORE
Mink Brook log crossing repair
A 77 foot, 5 ton white pine has now made its way through downtown Hanover from Oak Hill to the Mink Brook Nature Preserve, courtesy of Chippers, Liberty Utilities, Lawson Crane & Rigging, Dartmouth College, Royal Trail Works, and loads of volunteers. It’s resting now at the Brook Road gate and offering a temporary exhibit on events in the life of Hanover and this tree while it was growing. Stop by to have a look! UPDATES POSTED HERE
