Easements
You and your family have kept your land open and free from development
for many years – perhaps for many generations. So far, the lavish and

land to remain as it is. You plan to save the land for your children. read more...
ATV
Issues
Commission members continue to spend a significant amount of
time trying to address the ever increasing problem of damage caused to town
lands by careless riders of all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). We continue to
follow multiple attempts at the State Legislature level to address this issue
and are continuously trying to understand how these laws will apply to our town
lands. For now, the Commission and the Atkinson Police Department
encourage you to call the Department with any complaints about improper
operation of these vehicles around your home. More information about NH State
laws regarding ATVs and
