Bryan Dole

Bryan joined the SRPEDD Environmental Team in January 2026. He earned a degree in Environmental Science from the University of Massachusetts – Amherst. He also graduated with a minor in Sustainable Community Development and a certificate in Geographic Information Sciences and Technologies.  

Before joining SRPEDD, Bryan worked as a planning intern for the City of Chicopee, MA and as a GIS Designer for the Center for Resilient-Metro Regions in Amherst, MA. His time in these positions has given him experience in research and data analysis, environmental justice advocacy, geospatial analysis, grant writing, and community engagement.  

Through his education, work, and lived experience, Bryan is passionate about how humans can thrive within the intersection between the natural and built environments. He is especially focused on how this connection is influenced by broader social, political, and economic contexts, especially for historically underserved and underrepresented communities.  

He is grateful for the opportunity to support the planners at SRPEDD with hazard mitigation planning, open space and recreation planning, watershed planning, climate pollution reduction grants, farmland protection programs, and other projects.
