Sunday
Stroll, Option One - Mink Brook Nature Preserve Trails
Sunday,
July 24, 1 – 3pm
UVLT
Office, 19 Buck Road, Hanover, NH (map)
The hike, led by Patchen Miller intern Ally Bernstein,
will leave from the Upper Valley Land Trust parking lot to start on
the Wheelock Trail. This trail, with a short road walk, will connect
to the Quinn Trail then cross the brook to rejoin the Wheelock Trail.
The distance will be about 2.3 miles round trip, with an option to
extend a few tenths of a mile on the Forest Loop. It is a delightful
walk in the quiet of a mostly mature forest, through rocks and huge
boulders and alongside a tumbling brook. There is little elevation change
and the footing is generally good. A trail map may be found on theUVLT
website.
Sunday
Stroll, Option Two - Piermont Mountain
Sunday,
July 24, 1 – 4:30pm
Kingswood
Camp, Piermont, NH
This hike will be a fun adventure and perhaps a bit of a
challenge over a newly laid out and still rough trail on the North
side of Piermont Mountain. The vertical incline is about 1400 feet
and the distance is about 4 miles round trip, therefore, the hike
will likely take a bit longer than 2 hours. From the top there is a
great view towards Mount Moosilauke. The hike will be led by Roger
Hanlon, a UVLT trustee, who is quite excited about hiking a new trail
on a little known mountain! Meet along Route 25c near the Kingswood
Camp baseball field (across the road from Lake Tarleton).

UVLT Welcomes
New Programs Coordinator, Anna Slack!
Kinship with the natural world has
motivated Anna since she was a young girl growing up in central
Vermont. Until she left New England to attend college, Anna
didn’t realize the scope of the detachment between people and their
environment.
After college, Anna found herself
drawn to helping people find that link between themselves and their
surroundings. As a forestry intern on an Arizona Apache
Indian Reservation Anna saw a lack of interest and ownership that
compelled her to create an educational workshop for tribal members
to re-forge that connection.
Anna’s commitment to linkages
between land and people has brought her to the Programs Coordinator
position here at UVLT. Anna hopes UVLT’s events and
activities will continue to bring people together to discover and
re-discover the joy that a personal connection to the lands of the
Upper Valley can bring!
Anna can be reached at anna.slack@uvlt.org or (603) 643-6626 ext.102. Please feel
free to be in touch with her regarding UVLT events and activities;
she looks forward to hearing from you!
