Join us for our December 2025 Berkshire Green Drinks event to talk with Berkshire Environmental Action Team staff about BEAT’s important work of this past year and the work coming up for us in 2026 as we carry on the legacy of former Executive Director Jane Winn — with her as our #1 volunteer!

Learn from BEAT’s new Executive Director, Brittany Ebeling, about the transition of BEAT’s leadership and our new vision statement. BEAT staff will share program updates from No Fracked Gas in Mass, Breathe Easy Berkshires, and the Berkshire Zero Waste Initiative, as well as highlights from our educational and stewardship programming, zombie pipeline updates, and so much more.

This is a hybrid event, with an in-person gathering at BEAT’s Environmental Leadership and Education Center with drinks and light refreshments, as well as a livestream presentation on Zoom.

TIME: 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM, in-person gathering beginning around 5:30 PM

What is Berkshire Green Drinks? Berkshire Green Drinks is an informal gathering on the second Wednesday of the month. A guest speaker talks for about 30 minutes beginning at 6 PM, and the presentation is followed by a discussion and Q&A. These nights are free and open to everyone with any environmental interest. The drinks aren’t green but the conversations are. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to join and bring along questions!

What is Green Drinks? Green Drinks is an international forum where people who work in the environmental field and environmental enthusiasts meet for a drink and snacks at informal sessions. There will be a lively mix of people from non-profit organizations, academia, government, business, and the general public. Green Drinks is a great way of catching up with people you know and for making new contacts. These networking events are very simple and unstructured. Come along, and you’ll be made welcome.
