Bedford Trail Walk & Talks with the Superintendent - Fall 2023

The Bedford Trails Committee released an updated Bedford Trail Guide on Bedford Day. I am hoping to get to know the geography and neighborhoods of Bedford a bit better by walking the trails, and I would love company and the opportunity to continue hearing from community members about their hopes for our schools. Here are the dates and times for these Trail Walk & Talks. These are intended for adult caregivers and community members, though kids are welcome if accompanied by an adult. For planning and communication purposes, please register here. Please see below where full details about where to park and meet are provided.
