What do your rivers mean to you? The Hanover Conservancy and Howe Library will host a lively and informative free public presentation of The Power of Water / The Power of Words.  This joint project of the Connecticut River Watershed Council and Art & Dialogue has been collecting the public’s hopes and dreams for the future of the Connecticut River.  More…

With the forecast for high winds and low temperatures, we thought it wise to forego the frostbite and cancel our Apple Pruning Workshop, scheduled for Sat., March 11.  Sunday doesn’t look any better. We’ll release a few more trees over the summer to have an even better selection for next spring’s workshop.

Please join the Hanover Conservancy and other UV Pollinator Partners as we kick off a full year of pollinator-themed events!

Around the globe and right here in our own backyards, biologists have been buzzing about pollinator decline. From moths to native bumble bees and butterflies, some of these species have already disappeared. Who are the pollinators? Which species are in conservation trouble? What has caused these losses? Join a panel of local biologists who have studied pollinators to learn what the issues are and how we might reverse declining pollinator populations.

Please join us on Saturday, March 25th from 1-2:30 to explore this soon-to-be-protected property in Etna! Snowshoes available (we hope they’ll be needed!). If you can’t come then but are curious, take your own self-guided tour with our January Hike of the Month.

Our Slade Brook snowshoe and bonfire has been canceled due to very icy trails and insufficient snow cover for a fire.

There are a few spots left for Saturday’s trip to the Trescott Water Supply Lands with Alcott Smith. Please CONTACT US TO REGISTER if you would like to come along.

Don’t forget your micro-spikes and/or hiking poles on your next walk- many trails are slippery right now, and recent snow may be covering ice. Be safe and have fun!

Monday, Jan. 23rd: Tonight’s Be Bear Smart! program is ON! The winter weather is supposed to hold off until later in the evening.

We hope you’ll join us for indoor and outdoor adventures this winter. Details here.

This season’s program has been generously supported by donations in memory of Audrey McCollum.
