Massachusetts Rivers Alliance is a terrific organization that helps our organization (Berkshire Environmental Action Team - BEAT) stay on top of legislative issues, learn more about river issues, and leverage statewide assistance in accomplishing our goals. Julia Blatt is a great team builder. She lead a group of organizations in organizing "Improving Stream Crossings" workshops. These workshops, aimed at highway superintendents, engineers, and municipal officials, were well attended and very effective. Julia is a pleasure to work with, and Mass Rivers Alliance is a tremendous help to a small organization trying to have a big impact.
