Brewster Conservation Day 2025

Brewster Conservation Day (BCD) 2025, now in its 14th year, will be held in a new location, with expanded activities and events, with the same fun and excitement you’ve come to expect from Cape Cod’s best loved conservation fair! And it's free!

Come and enjoy this fun family event on Saturday, July 12, from 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM, rain or shine. This year’s theme is “Trees: Superheroes of the Natural World,” celebrating the critical role trees play in protecting our planet, sustaining wildlife, and enriching our lives.

For the first time, BCD will take place at the Sea Camps Bay Property at 3057 Main Street, Brewster. With the additional space that this property allows, new activities are planned. 

● Russell Norton, Barnstable County Cooperative Extension Horticulture and Agriculture Educator, will be the featured speaker. He'll discuss the role of trees and forests on Cape Cod over time.

● The brand new “Creativity Zone” will engage children of all ages in fun, hands-on activities related to the fair’s theme, organized in part by the Brewster Cultural Council. Alex Roberts of Dot to Dot Art Workshop will offer special activities, and artist Kate Sidwell will assist children in decorating a spirited tree constructed in honor of the event.

● A live music performance will be presented by students of Washashore Music. Additionally, singer-songwriter Paul Kehoe will perform children's favorites. 

There will be over 40 exhibitors that together celebrate our community’s natural resources and coastal habitat. Visitors will be able to engage in various interactive displays while learning about the importance of protecting our valuable resources. Animal lovers will enjoy displays about marine wildlife rescue and landscaping to attract wildlife. Other displays will celebrate sustainable landscaping practices, pond health and water quality, and native plants and pollinators. Once again, Mattie Dread, the voice and spirit of WOMR, will serve as the fair’s emcee, and crowd favorite Trevor the Juggler will entertain all.

Don't miss Cape Corps' (formerly AmeriCorps) "The Big Flush," manned by BPC volunteers and winner of best BCD exhibit two years in a row. This fun activity always entertains and educates both children and adults alike! Our exhibit will also include information about our ongoing programs, including the Pond Protection Pledge, Citizen Science, and Pond Education.    

Come and enjoy the expanded activities of Brewster Conservation Day 2025 and see why this annual event is a perennial favorite! For more information, visit the Brewster Conservation Trust website.
