Over 120 people turned out for our Annual Meeting at Coe-Brown Northwood Academy! Bear-Paw celebrated a record year of conservation success. The crowd watched Frank Mitchell and Phil Auger’s slide show of 1,147 acres of forests, fields, and wetlands now protected with the eight conservation easements completed in 2008.

Our spring and summer workshops have been announced! All programs are free and open to the public.  More...

Bear-Paw Completes Conservation Plan
The region is rich in natural resources but they are at risk. Bear Paw's recently completed Conservation Plan identifies and describes those areas that include the region’s most important ecological, biological, and water resources - “greenways” and “blue ways” between and within the natural lands in and outside the region. Results from the New Hampshire Wildlife Action Plan (WAP), the Plan for New Hampshire’s Coastal Watersheds, and local master and open space plans were integrated into the plan to facilitate potential partnerships. This project was supported by funds from the sale of the Conservation License Plate (Moose Plate) under the NH State Conservation Committee grant program.
