Brewster Ponds Coalition 2025 Annual Meeting and Cyanobacteria Discussion

Don't miss this important Brewster Ponds Coalition annual event! Our annual meeting will be held on Saturday, August 9th, from 8:30 - 11 AM. Following registration and breakfast, there will be a short business meeting reviewing the past year's events and our award presentations. We will then hear from this year’s guest speaker, Julie Hambrook Berkman, PhD, Project Director of the Pond and Cyanobacteria Monitoring Programs at the Association to Preserve Cape Cod (APCC), who will discuss cyanobacteria. She will present key facts about how it affects our ponds, including a brief review of the biology and ecology of these organisms, how blooms are produced, the APCC processing techniques and risk levels, as well as potential causes of cyanobacteria in individual ponds and potential actions to prevent them. Time will be allowed for questions and answers. The BPC Annual Meeting will be held at the Cape Cod Bible Alliance Church, 3600 Main Street, Brewster, and is free to BPC members, so be sure to reserve your spot. For non-members, we are suggesting a $10 donation at the event. Registration begins at 8:30 AM and the meeting starts at 9 AM.
