$Berkshire Green Drinks: "Stream Restoration on the Konkapot River\u201d Zach Adams from Trout Unlimited$

Join Berkshire Environmental Action Team (BEAT) online or in person for the first Berkshire Green Drinks of 2026, in which Zach Adams from Trout Unlimited will share about the 7-year stream restoration project on the Konkapot River — a 22-mile-long tributary of the Housaontic River that begins at Lake Garfield in Monterey, MA.
This project both created fish habitat in the Konkapot River and stabilized the streambank to prevent Hartsville-Mill River Road from washing out in the next 5 years. This huge project required 80+ trees with root wads, tons of boulders, and a lot of adaptability.
Zach will share photos and stories about this fairly unique project in Massachusetts. Audience members will have an opportunity to ask questions after the presentation.
This event is free and open to everyone, and it's a great chance to learn how restoration work is shaping healthier rivers right here in the Berkshires!
This is a HYRBID event, with an in-person gathering at Dewey Hall in Sheffield, as well as a livestream presentation on Zoom.
Registration is required to receive the Zoom link.
