posted on: 2/1/2019

The Dover Open Lands Committee will host a full-moon snowshoe hike on Saturday, Feb. 16. The group will gather at 6:30 p.m. at the Dover Community Trail in the Beckwith Baseball Park parking lot, located off Hillside Drive.

The hike will begin with a leisurely walk along the open fields and riverside trail, returning for hot chocolate in the parking lot. This event is free and open to the public. Families are welcome. It is preferred that pets stay home for this event.

Please dress appropriately for the weather and bring a headlamp or flashlight in the event of cloudy skies.

Please RSVP to Steve Bird at s.bird@dover.nh.gov or 603-516-6008 so that we may contact you in the event of a weather-related cancellation and properly plan for hot chocolate. Updates will be posted on the Dover Open Lands Committee Facebook page at www.facebook.com/DoverOpenLandsCommittee.

General Directions: From downtown, head west on Sixth Street, left onto Hillside Drive and follow the road down the hill to the end.

The Dover Open Lands Committee consists of local volunteers and city staff who work with willing landowners to conserve Dover’s important natural and cultural resources. These resources include drinking water supplies, farm and forest lands, critical fish and wildlife habitat, and the preservation of our community's character for current and future generations to enjoy.
