Town Report recognizes trail, remembers local farmer February 24, 2021MEREDITH The town's annual report is available online with a cover featuring the Laverack Nature Trail at Hawkins Brook and dedicated to a local man with a long history of agriculture and conservation. A digital copy of the annual report can be found on front page of the town's Web site, medredithnh.org, and physical copies will be available the first week of March. The front cover features an aerial shot of The Laverack Trail at Hawkins Brook and the back cover features its outdoor classroom. The trail was completed and dedicated in 2020 after an eight-year effort by the Village Pathways Committee. The report features a brief history of the project, including how much of the $600,000 cost was helped by donations and grants and how a major donation by Meredith Village Savings Bank in the name of Sam Laverack resulted in the trail's formal name.
