When species meet, do they always get along? Do they perhaps sometimes get along all too well? Trent's own Dr Joanna Freeland brings us into the weird world of plant hybrids + ecosystem action on March 10th. Same plant time (7:30 pm), same plant channel (Upstairs at the Publican) 🌿

Bird gossip incoming tomorrow night

Attention birders (and bird gossips): On Tues Feb 10th we'll be treated to a tell-all account of the domestic habits of the Alpine swift by the talented Dr Michela Dumas. Come by early for seats + drinks, upstairs at the Publican, anytime before 7:30pm 🪶

New Year's coming, and with it more great conservation talks! This January's it'll be Trent's own Dr. Mary-Claire Buell, on bringing community + environmental forensics together in investigations of pollution. Should be great!

And we're back in action Dec 9th! Join us at the Publican at 7:30 pm for drinks, good company, and an account of the conservation fight for arctic shorebirds with Paul A. Smith

Tonight's the night for multilingual social ecology! Hope to see you at the Publican at 7:30pm for Dr. Sandra Klemet-N'Guessan's exciting talk.

April 8th's Conservation Cafe with Dr. Sandra Klemet-N'Guessan will blend multilingualism, Indigenous knowledge systems, and social-ecology. Join us at 7:30pm at the Publican for some great stories of conservation in action. Free, as always, with a cash bar 🥂💬🐟

Hey #PTBO, tonight's the night to geek out on fly ecology!

Next week will be buzzing

Summer is coming and with it, some less-than-charismatic fauna. Join us + Trent's own Dr. David Beresford on Tues the 11th for the science of the pesky flies that can so define time at the lake. The talk starts at 7:30pm and, as always, is free (with a cash bar on site).

We're back in February for more conservation science! Join Dr. Mark Ridgway for the scoop on Algonquin Park lake fish. There's more going on beneath the waters than we thought!

Tonight's the night!

Come join us tomorrow for the scoop on salt

Next week's pub talk is salty! We'll hear from Dr. Stephanie Melles on the evolving science of road salt & lake ecosystems, with a particular look at the tiny but mighty parts of that food web: zooplankton. Do they like it briny? If not, how do we hold the salt? Join us at 7:30, Jan 7 @ the Publican

Ok, cool bird stories are immanent. Alex kicks us off with a provocative question: Do you have 'depleted Mom syndrome'? Parenting is a costly thing, biologically. Let's talk about how some birds find a way to cut back on the work of reproduction.

Hello world! We're making the move to bluer skies. We're the Trent Centre for Communicating Conservation, a bunch of folks who are very enthused about the science behind efforts to keep the natural world and its denizens around, as well as the art of making those efforts more public.
