Land conservation groups in southern Maine said they've reached a goal of protecting 1,500 acres of open space over the past six years. The groups focused on a six-town area around Mount Agamenticus, a monadanock in York. The Mount Agamenticus to the Sea Conservation Initiative said it completed the drive through 34 different projects. The conservation initiative said its long-term goal is to protect 19,000 acres in the area, and it is close to 15,000 acres.
