Please tune in on Tuesday, Nov. 16 at 7pm for a lively program – we’ll take a richly illustrated armchair tour of the wildlife and past lives of our many protected lands, and give a preview of our new strategic plan, Promise to Protect. Test your knowledge of Hanover conservation history – we’ll treat you to a couple of pop quizzes, and you’ll be eligible to win a Hanover Conservancy cap.
A brief business meeting precedes the program, when our members are asked to elect two new members to our board of directors. The board has nominated Marc Hiller and Russell Muirhead to take the place of Patrick O’Hern and Jill Kearney Niles, who are stepping down. Meet Marc and Russ below.
