The mission of the Hanover Conservation Council is to promote the appreciation and conservation of land and natural habitat in Hanover.

The Council achieves its mission through programs in land conservation, education and monitoring community issues. Our programs are run by community volunteers. Enjoy the activities of the Council by taking an Adventure Trip, taking a walk at Mink Brook or Balch Hill, working on conserved land, working with children through our partnership with the Bernice A. Ray School or by simply becoming a member.

We value your membership!
Your support allows us to work to conserve land, steward the land we have protected and provide community education programs. If you are not a member please join today!

Annual Report
Our 2007 Annual Report is available. The Annual Report is sent to all members. If you would like a copy please contact us or click here.

Our Annual Meeting format has been altered. We will elect board members at our December 5th board meeting. Our board meetings are open to everyone – first Wednesday of each month at 4pm at the Community Center. This spring we will hold a community celebration to thank our volunteers, celebrate the year’s successes and announce our conservation awards. Look for a date and details coming soon.

New Volunteer Program
We have a new volunteer program to link community members with opportunities to work with the Council on stewardship, education and administrative projects. Click here for more details.

If you are conducting research on Council lands please let us know. We are very interested in the results of your research and we would like to be sensitive to the study area as we work on various stewardship activities. Please contact us if you are working at Mink Brook, Slade Brook or Balch Hill.
