Join us for the first Berkshire Green Drinks of 2026 in which Zach Adams from Trout Unlimited will share about this summer’s stream restoration project on the Konkapot River. Trout Unlimited completed construction on a bank restoration project 7 years in the making! This project both created habitat in the Konkapot River and stabilized the stream bank 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.<\/span><\/p>\n
