Recorders' conferences

We organise two wildlife recording conferences each year, one in spring and another in autumn.

Our conference events have been running since 2003 and aim to provide the following benefits to our recording community:

  • support
  • training
  • networking opportunities

Our conferences offer a great way to connect with people who share similar interests and stay informed about developments in the two counties.


During our conference events, you can attend talks and workshops. Additionally, you’ll find books and identification guides available for purchase. We also extend invitations to groups and recording schemes to set up displays and showcase their work.
