Online Public Input Session With BEAT

Print Story | Email Story
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Berkshire Environmental Action Team (BEAT) has been working to survey stream crossings in Berkshire County using the North Atlantic Aquatic Connectivity Collaborative (NAACC) protocol. 
 
During Spring 2024, BEAT will offer training to anyone interested in conducting volunteer fieldwork by surveying culverts and road-stream crossings throughout the County. These surveys help determine what culverts and crossings need attention and prioritize the ones that need to be fixed sooner rather than later. 
 
Join UMass Extension Professor Scott Jackson for this BEAT-organized online info session about the North Atlantic Aquatic Connectivity Collaborative on Tuesday, March 19, at 6 PM. 
 
Learn why the NAACC was formed, the importance of doing this work, and what the training will entail. Register at: https://tinyurl.com/NAACC-info-session
