PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Berkshire Environmental Action Team (BEAT) and the City of Pittsfield are organizing a community clean-up event at Burbank Park on Saturday, April 19, from 9:30 AM to noon. 

 

The event is in recognition of Earth Day. A complimentary lunch will be provided to participants after the clean-up.

 

Burbank Park, situated along the shore of Onota Lake, has experienced issues with illegal dumping and litter. The purpose of the clean-up is to remove trash from designated areas within the park to restore its condition and protect local wildlife.

 

Volunteers should meet at the Onota Lake Boat Launch, located at 309 Lakeway Drive, at 9:30 AM. Participants will be divided into groups to cover different sections of the park. Gloves, trash bags, and other necessary supplies will be provided. Attendees are advised to bring their own water bottle, wear appropriate footwear, and dress according to the weather conditions on that day.

 

The event is open to individuals of all ages, and families, school groups, and organizations are invited to participate. Registration is required. Interested individuals can register through the provided link: tinyurl.com/BEAT-Earth-Day-2025.
