60 years of Hanover Conservancy

The Hanover Conservancy is pleased and proud to share with you our new video honoring our 60th anniversary milestone. During 2021, we worked with videographer and Hanover High School student Ezra McGinley-Smith to capture Hanover’s most meaningful conservation places, partners, and progress.

Trail improvements underway on Moose Mountain

December 28, 2021

We are working with the landowners and the Town’s Trails Committee to focus use and maintenance on the best connections and close some lesser-used, duplicate trails. Volunteer-led trail work made great strides in Fall, 2021 and will resume in Spring, 2022. We’ve updated our map to show new routes and those no longer open on the central and southern part of the mountain.  We hope this helps while you’re out on the trails this winter!

Download the Winter 2022 interim trail map here

Please note that these trails are maintained by volunteers. While some trails traverse lands managed by the Hanover Conservation Commission or protected by the Hanover Conservancy, many paths cross privately-owned lands that are not conserved. Please do your part to keep these trails open by respecting these generous landowners and treating their property as you would your own.

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!
