Our Mission
To conserve nature in Amherst and the benefits it provides to our community.
Our Plan
ACC's Strategic Plan (2025-2035) provides a path for pursuing our mission.
Who We Are
We are volunteers appointed by the Board of Selectmen, operating under the RSA on Conservation Commissions. We are assisted by volunteers from the community.

Reminder: Motorized vehicles (gas or electric) are strictly prohibited on all town-owned land and ACC trails.
Please be aware that operating ATVs, dirt bikes, and electric motorcycles on town open spaces is illegal. We are currently experiencing a sudden, significant increase in complaints and seeing
visible trail damage and safety concerns caused by these vehicles. Per town ordinance, it is the official policy to pursue enforcement action against the anyone, including parents or legal
guardians of minors, who violate these rules. Violations carry fines of up to $1,000.00, and the town may actively seek civil damages and full financial restitution for the cost of trail repairs.
You can review the town’s official ordinance in the link below.
Note: Pedal assist only (Class 1) ebikes are permitted.
Amherst is incredibly fortunate to have an extensive network of open spaces. We truly strive to accommodate as many recreational activities as possible, including hiking, trail running, and
mountain biking. We appreciate your cooperation and help in keeping our conservation lands protected, safe and enjoyable for everyone.
