Forum Conferences are very popular and well attended.  Not only do they bring delegates up to speed on new findings and new ideas, but they are fun and a great way to meet and swap ideas with other wildlife gardeners.  We hold them twice every year, usually in June and November, and although most are in London, we are trying to hold some around the country to make them more accessible.

Most recent Conferences have had a special theme for part or all of the day, while the rest of the programme is taken up with talks on new ideas, field excursions or debate.

The links below will bring up the proceedings or reports from past conferences. These conference reports are accessible through the website's search bar. 

The more recent ones are fully illustrated, and in some case the files are quite large.
