Bear-Paw Regional Greenways

You already know this place is worth protecting.

That's why you're here.

The forests where kids discover their first frog. The farms where your food is grown. The wetlands quietly cleaning the water you drink. In eleven towns across southern New Hampshire, Bear-Paw Regional Greenways is working—right now—to make sure these places stay whole.

Your gift makes that possible.

Through conservation easements, we work alongside landowners, towns, and communities to protect land permanently. Farms keep farming. Forests keep growing. And the connections that make this region feel like home stay intact.

When you give today, you're not just protecting acres—you're protecting what those acres mean to all of us. Future generations will still have wild places to wander, clean water to drink, and land worth caring for.

That's a legacy worth leaving together.

Thank you for being someone who shows up for the land—and for each other.

Who We Are

Bear-Paw Regional Greenways is a land trust with a mission to permanently conserve a network of lands that protects our region’s water, wildlife habitat, forests, and farmland. Established by resident volunteers, Bear-Paw works to conserve open space through outreach, education, and land protection project assistance. We envision a region of scenic beauty and rural character where diversity and quality of life are sustained.

Bear-Paw primarily serves an eleven-town region that includes Allenstown, Barnstead, Candia, Deerfield, Epsom, Hooksett, Northwood, Nottingham, Pittsfield, Raymond, and Strafford, New Hampshire.

Our goal is to safeguard water resources, native wildlife and plant habitat, travel corridors, working farms and forests, the region's inherent beauty, and local recreational opportunities. Our volunteers and staff work with landowners, communities, and the public to identify opportunities for conservation, promote available conservation options, and assist with the completion of land protection projects.
