Come enjoy our local greenspaces, whether it is for a walk, bird watching, sketching, or doing trail work. This summer the Ausbon Sargent Land Preservation Trust (ASLPT) and the Sunapee-Ragged-Kearsarge Greenway (SRKG) collaborated in hosting a walkabout on easement land in Sunapee from the Webb Woods to Simpson Reserve on June 10. 

Both organizations have been busy with trail work and placing new signs on their easements and trails.  Please visit AusbonSargent.org/calendar to see the ASLPT 2022 summer events which are open to the community. Visit SRKG.org to obtain maps of the 75-mile loop of the SRKG trails which link Mount Sunapee, Ragged Mountain, and Kearsarge Mountain. A long portion of the loop passes through Andover.

Also posted on the SRKG website may be volunteer trail work dates. Contact any of the town SRKG Board members (see website) for local information about trail work days.  

Thank you to members from the Andover, Sunapee, and New London Conservation Commissions for your participation in many of these events and trail work projects. We love everyone’s participation!
