Jane Winn

Jane Winn is one of a small band of environmentalists determined to stop illegal environmental destruction in the Berkshires. She cofounded the Berkshire Environmental Action Team (BEAT) in 2002 and has won numerous awards for her tireless efforts to protect the environment. Under this Pittsfield native’s leadership, BEAT protects the environment for wildlife and educates citizens about the environment, collaborating with organizations and individuals. “Long an environmental advocate and mobilizer of community involvement, Jane Winn is fierce in her determination and seldom willing to take ‘no’ for a final answer,” says a colleague at the Massachusetts Association of Conservation Commissions.
