About Us

How We Got Started

Founded in 2024, the Biddeford-Saco Climate Action Team (BSCAT) began as a small group of concerned citizens passionate about addressing climate change on a local level. Since then, our team has grown into a network of activists and community leaders dedicated to making a significant impact. Our efforts range from organizing local events to advocating for city-wide sustainable policies.

Our Mission

The Biddeford-Saco Climate Action Team is committed to fostering a sustainable future through community-led environmental advocacy and action. Our mission is to engage and empower residents of Biddeford and Saco to actively participate in building a resilient community that embraces sustainable practices and policies.
