Science in the Pub was a huge success. Held at the Hotel Brunswick, the 3 speakers talked about climate resilient plants, nestboxes in relation to Glossy Black Cockatoos and the importance of small bird habitat, such as grasses, sedges, & coastal heath.

The event was made possible through the kind support of the Hotel Brunswick who invited BVL to become Publinc Peer Community Group. By community members joining Publinc at the hotel (it's free) you accumulate points on purchases which you can pledge to Brunswick Valley Landcare (BVL) or other listed community groups. This provides more donations to BVL. The more points pledged to BVL, the larger the donation BVL receives. You also get discounted meals and drinks by using your red Publinc card each purchase at the Hotel.
