CONWAY — The Nature Conservancy in New Hampshire has announced the successful completion of the “Let’s Grow Green Hills” campaign, an effort to raise $1.4 million to protect more than 1,300 acres of land in Conway.
With this campaign, the conservancy will be adding more than two square miles to its existing 4,000-acre Green Hills Preserve, a popular destination that was recently named one of the top 10 family-friendly hikes in New England by The Boston Globe.
