About the Stewards

The Bedford conservation land stewards are a group of volunteers who care for the conservation areas of Bedford, Massachusetts. Established in 1995, we work closely with the Bedford Conservation Commission and Trails Committee but are an independent organization.

Stewards get to know our conservation areas over time and serve as a voice advocating for them in our town.We present field reports twice a year at our Spring and Fall meetings. Input from land stewards gives the Conservation Commission the information they need to best serve the town and preserve our natural spaces.

We need you! Become a land steward. Contact us at bedfordlandstewards@gmail.com. Come to one of our meetings. Send us an enrollment form.

Audubon Society Christmas Bird Count 2012


It's time once again to start planning for the National Audubon Society Christmas Bird Count!  Frank Gardner will be organizing the count in the Bedford sector of the Concord Christmas Bird Count. The count which will be on Sunday, December 30th.  

The portion of Bedford which falls within the official count circle area is small and limited to the southwest corner of Bedford, but we have done a great job finding lots of good birds in our area in past years.
Please let Frank (frg444@gmail.com) know if you are interested in participating this year, so we can divide up the various areas appropriately to get good coverage and accurate counts of birds.  We will also have a planning meeting at the Bedford Starbucks at 7pm on December 27th.  Please let Frank know if you can attend that as well.

Your response by December 24th is most appreciated.  See you soon!
