On Tuesday, July 9th, three dedicated members of the Rotary Club of Bedford—Christine Pinney, Marc Hamilton, and Paula Gilarde—gathered for the first service project of the 2025–2026 Rotary year: a work day at the Native Pollinator Preservation Garden.
The team focused on identifying and removing invasive weeds to help native species thrive. Their efforts support a healthier ecosystem and demonstrate the club’s ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship.
Our next work day, scheduled for August, will focus on continued weeding, cleaning up the garden’s borders, and refreshing the plant markers and identification signs. A third session is planned for September, when we hope to plant additional native species to further enhance the space.
We’re proud to continue caring for this important community garden and grateful to our members and the DPW for their support in preserving pollinator habitats.
