SUMMARY:Old Growth Forest Walk
DESCRIPTION:Join John Donovan of the Hanover Conservation Commission\, John 
 Magee\, Newbury Conservation Commission\, and Ronan Donovan\, National 
 Geographic Fellow and wildlife biologist\, for a guided walk through an old 
 growth forest in the Mount Sunapee Reservation.\n\nDate: Saturday\, 
 November 8 at 10AM. This event follows the Wild Lands Panel Discussion on 
 Thursday\, November 6.  The panel and the walk are co-sponsored by the Howe 
 Library and Hanover Conservation Commission.  \n\nA legacy to protect:  The 
 Mount Sunapee Reservation is 1185 acres. It contains majestic 250  year old 
 Red Spruce and Beech trees and has escaped harvesting or other significant 
 human modification over the last 350 years. \n\nGetting There: The Mount 
 Sunapee parking lot is a 55 minute (35 mile) ride from Hanover.  Please 
 email us (below) to join the hike\, where you will be coming from and if 
 you can help with carpooling.  We will leave from the parking lot shortly 
 after 10 AM.  Do plan to arrive early to make sure you can find the parking 
 lot and so we can organize car pooling up the service road.\n\nSunapee Old 
 Growth Forest Trail Description:  Access is from the first parking area 
 (where we will meet at the Mountain)  to the left off the Mountain Sunapee 
 Access Road.  We will meet at the lower lot and carpool to drive part way 
 up the service road.  The hike is uphill\, out and back\, fairly steep\, 
 approximately two miles up through the forest and two miles back down the 
 same trail.  approximately  2.5 to 3.5 hours\, depending on time in 
 forest\, weather conditions\, etc.  We can easily shorten the hike\, if 
 necessary\, and still see much of the beauty of the old growth forest 
 habitat.  Once in the forest\, we will briefly leave the trail periodically 
 and walk to get close to some of the trees along the way.  \n\nBring/ 
 Wear\, Know:  Sturdy footwear\; know and heed the weather forecast\; bring 
 warm clothing and rain/ wind gear\; bring water\; snacks\; lunch. \n\nRead/

 Forest and a wonderful description of the forest on YouTube: The Forgotten
