Pollinator Pathway
Bedford
The Bedford Pollinator Pathway is a collaboration of Bedford residents and landowners, the Town of Bedford, and conservation organizations focused on the strategic planning, and stewardship of privately-held and publicly-held land to establish habitat and food sources for pollinating insects and wildlife.
Participate
Add native pollinator plants, shrubs or trees to your property, whether yard, garden, patio or balcony. Help to eliminate widespread application of pesticides and fertilizers. Spread the word by educating friends and neighbors.
Volunteer
Help spread awareness at farmers markets and public events, create, water and maintain public pollinator gardens and help manage invasive species in public parks. Motivate your organization’s members to help protect pollinators.
