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.

Vernal Pool Update

 

Recently our volunteer certification of vernal pools has had its first process completion.  The Harris Center certification and mapping activity is State sanctioned and the Amherst Conservation Commission is now a part of this.  Please visit the links below to see the online vernal pool map with data from the vernal pools documented at Joe English Reservation and other vernal pools on Amherst conservation lands that were flagged by Charlie Koch.
