Berkshire Environmental Action Team (BEAT)

The Berkshire Environmental Action Team's (BEAT) mission is to protect the environment for wildlife in support of the natural world that sustains us all.. We take the "Action" part of our name very seriously. We take action, and we help you take action, to protect the environment. We believe that an informed citizenry is the environment’s best protection. BEAT’s goals are to protect the environment, especially wetlands and wildlife corridors; educate the public about the environment and their role in protecting it; to involve community members and develop their leadership skills in protecting the environment; respond to threats to the environment; through our No Fracked Gas in Mass program dismantle fossil fuel infrastructure and increase clean, well-sited renewable energy; increase communication and collaboration among a broad range of organizations, agencies, and individuals to achieve our common goals; and create a social movement that supports environmental protection. Do all this through a JEDI lens. JEDI = Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion. Connect community members with job opportunities and provide training opportunities for local youth that can build wealth and avoid displacement in communities.
