Please join the Bedford Trails Committee for a free trail walk in the woods! We plan to explore the Old Reservoir / Valente Land area. Pace will be leisurely.

Steep inclines and declines provide for more strenuous hiking and biking than typically found on other trails within the Bedford trail network.

The Energy and Sustainability Committee is sponsoring a Cars and Coffee event on May 7 from 11am-1pm at Depot Park. Green Energy Consumers Alliance will have electric vehicle experts to answer your question and there will be electric cars there for you to explore while enjoying coffee and pastries. This event is free and open to the public.
