Prof. Camille Barchers' MRP studio is the Berkshires helping local towns develop tools that citizens and policymakers can use to prepare the Berkshire region for a resilient future.🌲 🌄
This weekend, students participated in the Hancock Community Day and the North Adams Mt. Greylock Hike, where they engaged residents with planning activities. Activities like the studio's "BerkBlibs" worksheet helped students understand what's important to community members and how they prioritize spending.
Worksheets aside, one MRP student entered the Hancock Pie Eating Contest and won! Overall, the studio had a great time meeting members of the Berkshire community and they can't wait to go back on more visits this semester. Learn more about our "Berkshire CAN" studio at www.berkshirecan.org/.
