Annual Restoration Conference

The planning for the 2026 Restoration Conference is now in full swing and a date has been confirmed for Saturday 18th April 2026. It will take place at Dudley Canal and Caverns and will have the theme of Placemaking.

The event is a brilliant opportunity for volunteers to network and to strengthen collaborative restoration efforts and we can't wait to share more details with you once plans have been finalised.
