Fullington Farm
Fullington Farm Proposed Development
The Friends of Hanover Crew have a proposal for the 2.4 acre Fullington Farm house lot which they have purchased. The proposal includes a renovated barn for boat storage, parking area, open board sheds and renovated farmhouse. A 180 foot dock is proposed at Wilson’s Landing which is owned by the Town of Hanover. The Friends of Hanover Crew intend to make the facility available to the Hanover High School crew team, Upper Valley Rowing Foundation recreational programs and to community rowers.

In 1990, the Hanover Conservation Council led a successful community-wide fundraising campaign to help the Town of Hanover purchase conservation easements on two adjacent parcels of land known as the Haslett Fullington Farm and Wilson Fullington Farm.
The two parcels with the conservation easements are located on Route 10 extending from the Dartmouth College Organic Farm to the southern boundary of the Fullington Farm house lot near Wilson’s Landing. The land is owned by Dartmouth College and the Town of Hanover holds the conservation easements. The Town Conservation Commission monitors the easements and the Council has no role in monitoring or enforcing the easements.
The Hanover Conservation Council remains interested in following the local and state reviews of the proposed project and would like to encourage all public bodies to join in the careful review of:
1. The environmental impacts of the proposal on the Connecticut River
2. The environmental impacts on shoreline habitat, birds and other wildlife
3. Protection of conserved footpath along the Connecticut River south of Wilson’s landing
4. Impact on adjacent conservation easements
5. The number of locations for public access to the Connecticut River and the community’s interest in public access to the river
