Green Up Day May 1st - 15th

Please help keep our community clean by picking up litter while you're out for a walk or hike, in your neighborhood or local trail.

Pick up blue bags at the Hanover Town Hall, Etna Post Office, Mascoma Bank, or RWB Community Center.

On Saturday, May 1st Town trucks will be at the following collection sites: Etna Church, Hanover Center Church, High School front parking lot, & Ray School lot.

Bags can be left alongside the road or trailhead where you cleaned up & Town Staff will pick them up.

Sponsors: Hanover Improvement Society, Mascoma Bank, & The Town of Hanover.

Garlic Mustard Eradication Garlic mustard is an invasive species that competes with native plants that make up the understory of local forests. Once garlic mustard gains a foothold it can completely carpet the forest floor eliminating the native plants which insects & forest critters depend on. The roots of the plant alter the soil composition making it harder for native trees to germinate.

Hanover has a number of sites where volunteers from the Biodiversity Committee have been working to eradicate it.

Volunteers for the May 12th-22nd work days are always appreciated.

New Memorial Day banners for Main Street

Displayed for the month of May

To honor those who served our community, each banner highlights a different period of time in our nation's history by focusing on the local brave men & women who were a part of it.

This is the start of a new tradition & each year new banners will be added. If you have a good photo and/or story of a family member or friend that served, please email it for use as a future banner. Our hope is that we can eventually cover every major war & engagement up to the present day.
