Help Us Shine
on New Hampshire Gives Day!
Once again, the Amherst Land Trust has joined hundreds of New Hampshire nonprofits in a special day of giving. Help us brighten our future—and that of all NH community causes—by visiting NH Gives on June 10 or 11 (5pm - 5pm).
​
Your donation this year supports our Action Fund for saving land (check out our story and video). Tell your friends! And see us online on June 11—or better yet at 5pm on June 10, when the 24 hours of NH Gives Day begin!​
Our Vision
To Preserve Open Spaces for the Benefit of the Community
The Amherst Land Trust exists to preserve open spaces for the benefit of Amherst and surrounding communities. As our region becomes increasingly suburban, the value of open space, both tangible and intangible, becomes ever more crucial to maintain our communities' rural character, natural resources, and mental health. Whether for recreation, relaxation, or the protection of the environment, the Trust's mission is essential to our well-being.
The Amherst Land Trust is a 501(c)(3) corporation, a private nonprofit corporation incorporated in the State of New Hampshire. Day-to-day decisions are made by a board of trustees. All members have a vote at the annual meeting.
​
As a non-governmental agency, we are able to step in when towns cannot to help landowners preserve their land for future generations, while often receiving a tax benefit.
A Legacy of Land Protection
