The HNA Board of Directors created the HNA Land Protection Fund to support the conservation of land parcels in Montgomery and the Hazen's Notch area that have important natural resource values in need of protection. Contributions to the HNA Land Protection Fund are dedicated to acquiring land or easements - protecting natural areas, wildlife habitats, scenic vistas and public access to recreational trails. Campership Fund
Trails Fund
Stewardship Fund
The HNA Stewardship Fund was created to assist landowners who wish
to enhance wildlife habitats and to protect biological diversity on their
lands through activities that have wildlife as a focus and that do not
generate any income for the landowner. Contributions to the Stewardship
Fund support the costs of creating wildlife habitat assessments,
management plans, and improvements to wildlife habitats. HNA staff
naturalists and natural resource managers work closely with landowners and
professional consulting foresters to implement resource management
activities that are designed to support biological diversity, with an
emphasis on non-commercial animal and plant species. Please consider
making a contribution to the HNA Stewardship Fund. Volunteers 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.

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 200 individuals, families, businesses and non-profit
organizations made contributions in 2017. 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 2017 the Hazen’s Notch Association raised $4,215 for
the Campership Fund from members, individuals, families, businesses,
organizations and area towns. This year our goal is to raise $5,000.
Please consider making a contribution to the 2018 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 $50, Individual $30, Student $20.
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.
