Exploring Hanover’s Conserved Lands (Fall Term 2024)

Participant Testimonials:

This course offered a wonderful introduction to the important work of the Hanover Conservancy and, the opportunity to explore conserved areas. I thoroughly enjoyed all of the hikes, as well as the commentaries offered along the trails. Gail and Adair taught us all so much about our local environment, birds, trees, and historical references. Surprisingly, they somehow managed to secure beautiful weather as a special treat from Mother Nature. 

Although we were a somewhat diverse group, everyone was included and hikes were designed to meet the abilities of each participant. 

Exploring Hanover's Conserved Lands (Fall Term 2022)

Participant Testimonials:

The pace both in learning and walking was terrific. Well done managing different levels of physical ability.

Both Adair and Gail are a wealth of knowledge about the natural world. This course explored the forest trails supervised by the Conservancy. Great hiking and information of trails new to me in this area.

Introduction to Birding (Fall Term 2018)

Participant Testimonials:

The presentation of information was extremely well done. We learned so much in just a few weeks and Gail made it fun for us with games to improve our knowledge. With technology we learned to identify birds and also hear their songs.

Gail brought her love of birding, enthusiasm, and a sense of humor to every class.

Gail was an outstanding teacher. She had a mixture of slides, activities, and outdoor time. I found her to be engaging and very interesting.
