Dear fellow Hanoverians:
If you have not ever participated in one of these walks, don’t miss your chance to do so this year! It’s a great take, as well as a terrific way to walk off the extra helping of pie you had at the Thanksgiving dinner table. Special thanks to the NSRWA for sending along this info, as well as to Hanover’s own Doug Thomson for leading the way on the walk!
The North & South Rivers Watershed Association Sponsors a Thanksgiving Weekend Walk and Kid’s Nature Walk at Factory Pond, Sunday, November 30th at 1 p.m.
Enjoy the magnificent views of Factory Pond along the Indian Head River, a tributary to the North River. The 8.5 mile Hanover Greenway now includes a one mile loop trail around the pond with three bridge crossings. This conservation area, including the two islands within the pond, is the premier bird habitat in Hanover and home to many other animals as well. Hanover resident Doug Thomson will lead the walk around the full one mile loop from the King Street entrance just south of Forge Pond. This is a great walk for the whole family. Pre-registration is not required. Suggested donation is $5 per adult.
New this year, the NSRWA will sponsor a Nature Hunt so kids can find answers to clues as they walk the trail with their parents. A list of clues can be downloaded from the Kid’s Corner of the NSRWA website (www.nsrwa.org) Just click on the turkey.
Directions: The entrance to the walk is on King Street, just south of Forge Pond. From Hanover Center (Town Hall), take Route 139 west, left on Circuit Street, left on School Street, left on King Street. Follow King Street for less than a quarter mile, on the left. Parking is on both sides of the road. Look for the NSRWA sign.
