Thanks to the volunteers who came out on Upper Valley Trails Day to help Bill Knight repair and stabilize our beautiful bridge. Next up – a new round of activity at our Balch Hill Natural Area, where we are working under a cost-share grant from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service to restore habitat and this historic agricultural landscape. Wider views will be the reward for human visitors!
Spring Trip Cards & Bears
Current Hanover Conservancy members have now received colorful cards announcing our spring series of trips and programs. If you’d like to come along, find our schedule here.
Spring means new life! Neighbors of the Mink Brook Nature Preserve report a mother bear with two large cubs. These were likely born last year and are continuing their “home schooling” with their mother. Keep your eyes out (and we suggest leashing your dog).
Sayonara, Sandy
Thanks to those who reported downed trees and limbs courtesy of Hurricane Sandy. We have two trees down across the trails at each of the following natural areas: Greensboro Ridge, Balch Hill Natural Area, and Mink Brook. Our volunteers will be heading out to clear these obstructions and hazards as soon as possible. If you’d like to help, please contact us.
Quinn Trail help needed
The Quinn Trail at the Mink Brook Nature Preserve is well-used and loved. Help us spread a load of wood chips on the trail to improve the path surface – Wednesday, August 22, 5;15pm. Bring a rake or shovel, and meet at the Brook Road gate.
Get the Garlic Mustard at Mink Brook!

Garlic mustard is exploding near the Mink Brook Nature Preserve, in a patch near the brook wedged between parcels owned by the Hanover Conservancy and the Upper Valley Land Trust. Help us yank it before it invades the preserve.
Wednesday, July 11, 4:00-6:30 pm. Meet at UVLT at 19 Buck Road. More info
Pulling Party & Equipment Needed
Sprouting glossy buckthorn is cause for celebration – or at least a pulling party on Saturday, July 7, 9-11am. Help yank ’em before they get going at Mink Brook Nature Preserve. Meet at Brook Road gate.
Are you downsizing or upgrading? We’d love to help you clean out your closet! The Hanover Conservancy is looking for a four-drawer file cabinet and a few pairs of binoculars. Please get in touch if you can help.
