Join Wildlands Trust stewardship staff to maintain the trails at the Chapman’s Landing and Iron Mine Brook Trails in Hanover. These scenic trails connect to the miles-long Indian Head River Trail, which runs through Wildlands Trust’s Tucker Preserve and surrounding town lands in Pembroke, Hanson, and Hanover. All experience levels are welcome!

Work will include lopping, trimming with hand clippers, and raking.

The volunteer day will last from 10am-1pm. Volunteers are free to come and go as they please. Questions? Contact Stewardship & Volunteer Coordinator Rebecca Cushing at volunteer@wildlandstrust.org. 

Parking:

Park at the Hanover Public Launch (map). If this lot fills, there is plenty of additional parking at Luddam’s Ford Park (map) with a quick walk down the Mattakeeset Trail to meet the rest of the group at the Chapman’s Landing/Iron Mine Brook trailhead.

Please see this map of the trails.
