Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Join the Hanover Open Space Committee (OSC) for a hike
through Hanover’s “gem” this coming Saturday, May 22nd,
9:00 a.m. at Luddam’s Ford. Explore this recaptured parkland with a
knowledgeable local guide. This wonderful 4.5 mile trail loop passes through
Pembroke, Hanson and Hanover public trails. View pictures and
descriptions of the expansive former industrial site located on the current
park and fish ladder. The walk includes rugged terrain & challenging
hills. Please wear shoes with good tread & support. We advise
you to bring bug spray with DEET. Walk will begin from the parking lot on the
Hanover side of the falls.
Additional upcoming Open Space events:
June 19th, 9:00 a.m. Walk at the Bog Iron trails
between Broadway, Willow Street and Hanover Street
July 10th, 9:00 a.m. Canoe from Luddam’s
Ford Boat Launch. Contact Hanover Parks and Rec to register,
781-826-7529. Event limited to 15 boats.
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.
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
input from the equestrian community in town. Please let us know if you
can contribute your specialized knowledge and needs to our volunteer committee.
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 pm at Hanover Town
Hall.
