Come hear Tom French of the DLCT share his perspective on his retirement. In his book The Gap Years, Tom offers an energizing perspective on retirement not as an ending but as a time to reset. A window of time to rediscover purpose and passion.

The event is being held at Powisstee Farm on Wednesday, May 13, from 5:30-7pm.

Please register in advance as seats are limited.

What a beautiful winter’s day to take a walk. ❄️

I love how something so small — like this tiny snowman tucked along the trail — can make you stop, smile, and appreciate all of the beautiful trails and nature that Dover has to offer.
Whoever built this definitely made someone’s day — mine included. ☃️

The long-awaited return of spring feels like it is finally here, with abundant sunshine today.
After a long, cold winter, the world is coming back to life. The daffodils and forsythia are blooming. Vernal pools are awakening wonders. These temporary ponds, brimming with life from tiny fairy shrimp to chorus frogs singing in the evenings,
Take a walk and enjoy all nature has to offer.

The sun is strong today, but it is ineffective against the biting wind. Its brilliance gives me hope for spring. Please hurry!
