Bedford City Joins RC&D For First Taylor County Project
In April 1972 the Bedford City Council approved the first RC&D project in the 7 County RC&D district, a forestry and wildlife planting on 45 acres north of Bedford funded by RC&D and SCS. About 12 000 trees and seedlings were planted plus native grasses. A second RC&D project funded a desiltation dam at Windmill Lake to reduce sediment and protect water quality. The measures were signed by Mayor Hanshaw and Merle Travis with the Taylor County SCD and SCS, with approval in June 1972.
