Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Join the Hanover Open Space Committee on March 20th at 10:00 a.m. to explore
the Fireworks Loop Trail along the shoreline of Factory and Lily Ponds.
Hanover Open Space Committee (OSC) members will guide hikers through the
approximately 2 mile loop. Please wear boots/shoes with good tread and be
aware that there are a few steep narrow spots along the less developed
eastern side of the path. An easier walk to the Factory Pond Bridge and
back is also available. Convenient parking is available at the trail head
and across the street at the site of the future King Street Fields.
Stay informed about activities and volunteer opportunities: you can find us
on Facebook: Hanover Open Space, the web:
http://www.hanover-ma.gov/open-space.shtml, or join our Yahoo Group:
HanoverOpenSpace. In addition, the OSC wants for input from the equestrian
community in town. Please let us know if you can contribute your
specialized knowledge and needs to our volunteer committee.
The Hanover OSC was chartered to ensure that the town’s rural character is
maintained and enhanced both through protection of existing resources and
acquisition of new properties. It is responsible for planning and
facilitating the improvement of open space, enhancing access to open space,
and raising awareness of land use issues. The OSC is also interested in
protecting land that is environmentally sensitive, could be used for passive
recreation, or is important for conserving the look and feel of the town.
Our goal is to retain the natural beauty and heritage of the town we live in
and love.
We would also like to hear from you if you are simply interested in more
information on the work of the Committee. The Open Space Committee meets
regularly on the 1st Monday of each month at 7:30 p.m. at Hanover Town Hall.
