Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Join the Hanover Open Space Committee (OSC) this Saturday, April 17th for a
trail and field clean up at 9:00 a.m. at the "Stasiluk Nava Property",
located on the northwest side of Center Street between Myrtle Street and
Winter Street. Please bring clippers and gloves, as the group will clear
brush, trim, and remove deadwood. You’ll get a chance to preview the
emerging trails on this newly acquired property. Once the team validates
the current trail lines, a local Eagle scout candidate will be organizing a
group to complete the project. Parking is available on the property, and
along the property’s stonewall. Download a printable map of Hanover’s Open
Space property:

The Hanover Open Space Committee would like to thank the community for its
wonderful support and participation both before and after last month’s
Fireworks Trail walk. Upcoming walks are planned for May 22nd, 9:00 a.m. at
Luddam’s Ford, and June 19th, 9:00 a.m. at the Bog Iron trails between
Broadway, Spring Street and Hanover Street.
Stay informed about activities and volunteer opportunities: you can find the
OSC on Facebook: Hanover Open Space, the web:
http://www.hanover-ma.gov/open-space.shtml, or join their Yahoo Group:
HanoverOpenSpace. In addition, the OSC wants for input from the equestrian
community in town. Please let them 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.
Their goal is to retain the natural beauty and heritage of the town we live
in and love.
The OSC 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.
