Craig Sanborn, director of the Cardigan Highlanders trail crew, carries materials for a railing across a new pedestrian bridge under construction by Hanover Conservancy volunteers in the Mink Brook Nature Preserve in Hanover, N.H., on Tuesday, Oct. 17, 2023. The original 60 foot bridge was in place for 12 years, but was closed in the fall of 2021 when it became unsafe. The Hanover Conservancy is replacing it with a 77 foot, 5 ton pine cut from Oak Hill during the development of new cross country ski trails. (Valley News - James M. Patterson) Copyright Valley News.
