ACC Tree Stand Policy (9/23/20)

Tree stand

Consistent with State guidelines1,2, the Amherst Conservation Commission (ACC) requires that anyone wishing to install a tree stand or ladder for hunting on lands managed by the ACC, receive written permission from the ACC in advance of the hunting season. Tree stands may be erected no earlier than August 1st, and must be removed no later than January 31st. Tree stands must have the owner’s name, address, and phone number affixed.  Tree stands shall not be located within 100 feet of any ACC trail and shall not be positioned with a field of fire across any such trail. The ACC reserves the right to remove any tree stand found on ACC-managed lands that is not in compliance with this policy.
