The Bedford Land Trust is a private non-profit organization. We protect more than 300 acres of land in Bedford, by holding conservation easements on a number of properties.
Although we are a separate entity from the Town of Bedford, some of our conservation easements are on town-owned properties, such as
the Benedictine Land, Joppa Hill Farm and others.
Our Mission Statement is:
"to protect and conserve strategic parcels of land in the Bedford, NH area, to preserve our rural character, and to provide protection for water resources and wildlife habitat for the benefit of the people in Bedford and the surrounding area."
What We Do:
By holding conservation easements we help landowners protect their properties and provide mitigation for environmental impacts caused by development in town.
Land protection benefits the town by retaining wildlife habitat, protecting water resources and providing recreational opportunities.
To ensure that protection remains in place, we have a stewardship program that monitors all the properties we protect.
We Also Provide Opportunities for Everyone of All Different Ages to Have Fun Close to Home. We build and maintain trails and have printable trail maps for the Van Loan Preserve, the Benedictine Land and the Joppa Hill Farm.
We periodically offer guided hikes and presentations. Keep an eye on our Web site.
