The generosity of time and hard work by our volunteers is sincerely
appreciated. Thank you to everyone who has helped with summer camp, school
programs, trail maintenance, construction, stewardship and with staffing
the welcome center. Please join us in thanking them as you consider
becoming a volunteer yourself. If you would like to volunteer for the HNA,
please contact us. Countless individuals throughout northern Vermont have shown their
support for the Hazen's Notch Association's programs through contributions
to the HNA general fund, campership fund, stewardship fund and trails
fund. Community leaders, school administrators and faculty, youth group
and church leaders have all demonstrated their conviction that the HNA is
meeting the needs of people across the area served by the HNA. We value the support of state and federal agencies, other non-profit
organizations, and private trusts and foundations that contribute to the
HNA through cooperative efforts to help achieve mutual goals of
conservation, education, trail maintenance and stewardship.

The HNA
could not fulfill its mission
without the generous support of so many
people: landowners, members, volunteers, directors, community leaders and
partner organizations. Please join us in thanking them. We hope that you
will also consider supporting the work of the Hazen's Notch Association.
The Board of Directors provides important leadership in helping the
Hazen's Notch Association fulfill its mission as a leading conservation,
environmental education, and recreation organization in northern Vermont.
We are grateful to the following individuals who have served on the HNA
Board Directors with distinction:
We are very grateful to our neighbors who generously allow the HNA
trails to cross their lands for cross country skiing, snowshoeing and, in
some cases, for hiking. The HNA is proud of its partnership with our
cooperating landowners who share the beauty of their property with our
visitors who join them in supporting the conservation goals of the HNA.
Thank you to all those generous members of the HNA who through their
annual contributions provide critical financial support for HNA
programs. Over 400 individuals, families, businesses and non-profit
organizations made contributions in 2006. You can join your friends and
neighbors in supporting the HNA by becoming a member.
The Hazen's Notch Association is committed to the conservation and stewardship of our natural heritage. Working with state and regional conservation groups and private foundations, the HNA assists landowners in realizing their goals of preserving family lands. When private land is conserved, both the landowner and the public benefit from the protection of open space and its associated natural resources.
The HNA Summer Camp Programs are of enormous benefit to a great many
children in our area. We had come to realize, however, that for some
families the cost of Summer Camp is not affordable. In order to make this
quality experience available to these children, the HNA established the
HNA Campership Fund. In 2006 the Hazen’s Notch Association raised $5,290 for
the Campership Fund from members, individuals, families, businesses,
organizations and area towns. This year our goal is to raise $6,000.
Please consider making a contribution to the 2007 Campership Fund. Your gift
will help make it possible for many children to attend camp who might
otherwise not be able.
The HNA maintains a network of 40 miles of trails on 2,500 acres of
private land for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and hiking.
Contributions to the HNA Trails Fund support the costs of maintaining trails,
trail markers and signs, of expanding the trail network, and improving
trail surfaces to prevent damage to soils, water quality and plants. We
are proud of the network of trails that we have developed in partnership
with our neighbors in Montgomery. Show your support for the HNA Trails by
making a contribution to the Trails Fund. People who contribute to the
Trails Fund at the following levels will receive a Winter Trail Pass as a
"thank you": Family $75, Individual $50, Student $40.
Over 30 people in the Hazen's Notch Area make their land available to
the HNA for recreational trails and environmental education programs. Of
these private lands, 1,500 contiguous acres are under forest management
plans that have been prepared by a professional consulting forester. These
plans provide direction to landowners in implementing their goals for
enhancing timber production, forest health, species diversity, wildlife
habitats, aesthetics and recreation.
