Do you feel a sense of restoration and rebalancing when you are in nature? 

Becky Cushing Gop is an award-winning environmental educator and Director of Mass Audubon West, encompassing 18 wildlife sanctuaries, conservation partnerships, and widespread community and school programming.  In addition to her work at Mass Audubon, she leads nature and mindfulness practices. 

Mass Audubon’s work in the Berkshires focuses on land protection and habitat restoration, inclusive and equitable access to nature, and advocating for climate smart policies. Join Becky in a timely conversation on how and why this work is important for environmental and personal sustainability.
