The Hanover Conservancy has been hard at work for over a half century to protect and improve the quality of life for those who live or work in the Hanover area. We’re grateful to these local organizations and chapters who frequently partner with us to conserve land, expand our trips program and maintain our nature preserves. Please visit their linked websites to learn more about what they do.
