PITTSFIELD, Mass. — A prospective marine biology student will plant 20 trees in the city as part of a school project.
Wahconah Regional High School junior Brodie Kelly-Smith is doing a research project on recent fires across the state. To complete the project, Kelly-Smith had to take the initiative to address the issues and he chose Pittsfield as a recipient.
Planting trees can act as natural fire breaks and increase humidity while providing a habitat for wildlife. Berkshire County is no stranger to wildfires, as a November's Butternut Fire in Great Barrington expanded to consume 1,670 acres.
"I decided that I want to do more than just write a letter to somebody and I want to actually do it myself," he told the Conservation Commission last week.
"So that's kind of why I'm doing this and I've always been interested in the environment. I want to go to college for marine biology."
Initially, he was going to plant all of the trees in one spot but Parks, Open Space, and Natural Resource Manager James McGrath informed him that people wanted trees planted on their property.
"I've been in contact with [Conservation Agent Robert Van Der Kar] and Mr. McGrath for a couple of months now and they've been willing to help me with this project," Kelly-Smith explained.
"And I'm kind of just looking for the green light for it."
