Saturday, August 10 8:30 - 11 AM Cape Cod Bible Alliance Church 3600 Main Street, East Brewster It's hard to believe, but the Brewster Ponds Coalition is celebrating its 10th year this summer! In honor of this occasion, we will be including a small celebration of all our hard work during the upcoming Annual Meeting. Please mark Saturday, August 10 from 8:30 - 11 AM on your calendars for this meeting at the Cape Cod Bible Alliance Church. Registration and breakfast will begin at 8:30 AM, with the meeting starting at 9 AM. ![]() The BPC is excited to announce that the guest speaker will be Christopher Flanagan, a member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives for the 1st Barnstable District, representing Brewster, Dennis, and Yarmouth. Mr. Flanagan has represented the district since 2023. Prior to being elected to the State House, he worked in the Offices of the Secretary of the U.S. Department of State and as the administrative director of the Offices of Senator John F. Kerry and William "Mo" Cowan. His presentation at the Annual Meeting will focus on important issues to Brewster residents that are currently being discussed at the state level. The Annual Meeting is free to BPC members so be sure to reserve your spot. For non-members, we are suggesting a $10 donation payable at the event. Many thanks to The Leighton Team, a BPC business partner, for its sponsorship of this year's meeting.
Unfortunately, and for the first time ever, Brewster Conservation Day 2024 is cancelled due to consistent weather forecasts predicting bad weather on Saturday. Such conditions would make the event difficult for exhibitors and volunteers and provide a less than enjoyable experience for attendees. The sponsors of this event - Brewster Conservation Trust (BCT), the Town of Brewster Department of Natural Resources, the Brewster Historical Society, and the BPC - would like to thank the Brewster community for its continued enthusiasm and support of this yearly event as well as the local businesses that so generously donate food and beverages for the volunteers. We look forward to BCD 2025! In the meantime, you can enjoy these activities during Brewster Conservation Week: Calf Field Pond Walk

Brewster Conservation Day 2024 Saturday, July 13: 9:30 AM - 1:30 PM Drummer Boy Park, Brewster BCD 2024 is just a few short weeks away! Plan to attend this informative event that is always highlighted as the best conversation fair on Cape Cod. There will be approximately 38 unique environmental exhibits focusing on aquaculture, recycling, native plant gardening, and so much more. This year's theme is "Trees: Superheroes of the Natural World" and there will be exhibits and presentations related to the history of Cape Cod's forests, their environmental benefits, and how we can protect them for the future.
Plan to stop by the BPC exhibit to learn about our ongoing programs such as Citizen Science and Pond Education. As in years past, we will feature "The Big Flush." Over 100 visitors enjoyed being "flushed" at last year's fair! The Conservation Day Committee is still looking for volunteers to assist with various activities such as parking, food service, greeting visitors at the welcome tent, and more. If you are interested in volunteering, please click here to see the full list and sign up. BCD is sponsored by the Brewster Conservation Trust (BCT), the Town of Brewster Department of Natural Resources, the Brewster Historical Society, and the BPC.
