Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Plan now to join the Hanover Open Space Committee during February?s school
vacation week on Wednesday, February 17th at 1 p.m. It will be a great
opportunity to understand the new trail map, see your CPC funds at work, and
get your kids out on the trails in a safe and fun way.
The group will walk out and back on the Colby Phillips trail. The hike
starts at the trail entrance on Whiting Street. Parking is available across
from trail head at the Hanover Middle School.
The first stop will be at the bird watching platform, approximately ½ mile
in from the trail head. Walkers can turn around here, or continue the
entire trail length to Circuit Street, ending at a quaint family cemetery.
Limited on street parking is also available at this end for anyone that can
drop a car in advance of the hike. The out and back hike length is
approximately 2 ½ miles of flat, scenic, wooded walking. There is one bridge
and a series of boardwalks with stairs on the hike.
In case of deep snow, feel free to bring snow shoes, and the hike will be
modified according to participants. Please send an e-mail to
hanoveropenspace@gmail.com in case of questionable weather conditions, or
sign up for our yahoo group, HanoverOpenSpace,
http://groups. yahoo.com/group/hanoveropenspace/ to keep
informed of all Hanover Open Space news.
In the meantime, mark your calendars for March 20th at 10 a.m. to explore
the French’s Stream trail and open space abutting the King Street Recreation
Complex project.
Maps of all town owned open space are available on-line at
http://www.hanover-ma.gov/maps-gis/2009-os-map/Hanover-2009-Open-Space-Map.p
df (be patient, the file takes a while to load). Or for your convenience, a
printed, foldable map can be picked up at Town Hall in the Conservation
Office located on the second floor. Hanover’s Open Space Committee meets at
Town Hall the first Monday of each month. Meetings are open to the public,
so please join in the fun.
