Norman Overlook at Mink Brook

September 25, 2019

In 1999, Bob led the Council’s effort to protect the 112-acre Mink Brook Nature Preserve, then slated to become a 32-lot subdivision. In 2019, the 20th anniversary of that daunting and ultimately successful project, the Conservancy dedicated the Norman Overlook to Bob and his vision for our community.

Weekend hike inspiration

October 5, 2018

Looking for something to do on this beautiful long weekend? Check out one of our Hikes of the Month, which include detailed directions and history on each location.

When you’re out there, take a moment to appreciate the incredible array of natural resources in the Upper Valley! These pristine streams and rich soils were cared for by indigenous peoples, enabled farming and forestry to thrive, and now support recreation, tourism and much, much more.

Send us your foliage photos from around the UV and help inspire others to get outdoors & explore!
