Past programs

The History of the Hanover Conservancy

Adair Mulligan, Executive Director of the Hanover Conservancy, has produced a history of how Hanover obtained so much green space or as she says, “a green necklace.”  She traces the 60 years of history with the first issues and the first people to recognize that land should be preserved.  She illustrated this talk with maps and images.  She also describes trails that many of us may want to explore in 2021.
