The Brisbane Biodiversity Seminars present guest speakers on the city's unique plant and animal species and other environmental topics.

Brisbane City Council is committed to keeping Brisbane clean, green and sustainable, and values your help in protecting more than 2500 plant and animal species that make Brisbane the most biodiverse capital city in Australia.

Join the Brisbane Biodiversity Seminar, either online or in-person, to learn about the little creatures which are often taken for granted.

Guest speaker, Dr Sandra Tuszynska, specialises in soil microbiology with an emphasis on the role of fungi in nutrient cycling and plant protection. Sandra will speak about enhancing soil biology in bush regeneration.
