Hanover Conservancy

The Hanover Conservancy is the oldest local land trust in New Hampshire, founded in 1961. Our mission is twofold: to protect land and water in our community and to nurture an appreciation for Hanover’s natural environment. A private, non-profit membership organization, we are not affiliated with town government, but work closely with our civic partners. Alongside our dedicated volunteers, we provide outdoor education for all ages, lead stewardship projects at our natural areas, conserve key Hanover landscapes and advocate for conservation-oriented public policy.
