To protect and manage the biodiversity and natural resources of Amherst, NH and to promote the public use of natural open space for outdoor recreation
The Amherst Conservation Plan provides ACC and other town officials with a science-driven and consensus-based approach.
We are volunteers appointed by the Board of Selectmen, operating under the RSA on Conservation Commissions. We are assisted by volunteers from the community.
