Bedford recently celebrated Arbor Day 2013 with the planting of a new tree on Jefferson Lane in Bedford Village.

The town was named a "Tree City USA" for the 13 year in a row. 

The “Tree City USA” honor is bestowed on communities that have met four qualification standards. They include having a Tree Board or Department, a tree care ordinance, a comprehensive forestry program and have an annual Arbor Day observance and official proclamation.

The Town Board is very pleased that the Tree Advisory Board’s ongoing work with the National Arbor Day Foundation has secured this wonderful designation for the Town of Bedford and appreciates the role the TAB serves in working with the Town Board in preserving, protecting, maintaining existing Town owned trees and the planting of trees in Bedford.
