Stop 3: Launceston
How do you put a dollar value on nature?
5:45pm | 10/08 | Launceston
Talk & canapés
Stop 3 on the Road Trip invites you to spend the evening with Launceston local Professor Darla Hatton Macdonald! Hear about her work on natural resource valuation, looking into issues in forestry and marine environments, then stick around afterwards for canapés in the Peppers Silo bar. Plus, plenty of opportunity to chat with Darla, Dr Karl, and fellow Road Trippers!
How do you put a dollar value on nature?
The ecosystem services and benefits that natural systems provide locally are highly valued by the communities that benefit from these and provide them with a “sense of place”. I will look at how placing a dollar value to the local natural assets and ecosystem services help preserve them, the trade-offs, and potential long-term outcomes to local communities.

A Seat at the Table
Beaker Street Festival’s pay-it-forward initiative, A Seat at the Table, helps make our science and art offerings accessible to those who can’t afford to purchase a ticket. Ticket buyers have the option to donate towards the cost of a stranger’s ticket. You won’t know who you’ve helped, but your donation will go directly to allowing someone else to access this great event.
Need a seat at the table? Email: [email protected] with your name, email address, post code, your age (if you don’t mind – it helps us gather data), which event you’re interested in, and whether you would like one or two tickets. Your information will never be shared or made public. If we can offer you a seat, we’ll notify you by email within a week of the event.
