Consider a collection of branching-coalescing random walks starting from each point of space and time \({\mathbb Z}^2\). Under diffusive rescaling, the collection is shown to converge in law to a certain random object which is called the Brownian net \({\mathcal N}_b\) with branching parameter \(b\). The Brownian net is a generalization of the Brownian web \({\mathcal W}\), which is developed e.g. in \textit{L. R. G. Fontes, M. Isopi, C. M. Newman} and \textit{K. Ravishankar} [Ann. Prob. 32, 2857--2883 (2004; Zbl 1105.60075)]. In fact, \({\mathcal N}_0\) is equal to \({\mathcal W}\) in distribution, while \({\mathcal N}_b\) with \(b\neq 0\) differ from \({\mathcal W}\). Some properties of the Brownian net are also given.
