COMMUNITY NEWS
What is Arbor Day?
Arbor Day was started by Julius Sterling Morton & his wife in Nebraska. The first Arbor Day was held on April 10, 1872 & over 1 million trees were planted.

President Nixon declared Arbor Day an official holiday in 1970. It is officially celebrated on the last Friday in April. Many communities celebrate on a day when the weather is more conducive for tree planting.

Tree City USA is a program within the Arbor Day Foundation that provides recognition to communities that meet a set of standards for their forestry programs. Hanover has been a Tree City for 43 years.

Look for the 1st Annual Tree Scavenger Hunt in Hanover. Explore Pine Knolls cemetery to find 10 exotic tree species and learn a bit about them. More information coming soon!
All residents should have received an official notification letter from the Community Power Coalition of New Hampshire (CPCNH). To find out more about what Community Power is and how it will save you money while lowering your carbon footprint visit www.communitypowernh.gov/hanover.
Call for Photos
HPR will be lining Main Street with banners of local service members who bravely represented our country or with an interesting local military story for Memorial Day.
