SUMMARY:National Water Vole Conference - 16th January 2027
DESCRIPTION:Book tickets now\nWater voles have suffered one of the most severe declines of any British mammal. But across Great Britain\, experts and enthusiasts are rewriting their story and working to bring them back. This conference is a fantastic opportunity to hear their fascinating work and meet the people behind it. \nWe are very lucky to welcome some of the most experienced water vole practitioners and researchers as our speakers. They include leading experts from ecological consultancies\, landscape-scale species recovery projects\, captive breeding programmes\, American mink projects\, conservation charities including Essex Wildlife Trust\, RSPB\, and Wild Cymru\, researchers and statutory nature conservation bodies. The full speaker line-up will be announced here very soon. \nTogether we will trace the history of water voles in Britain and tackle some of the big questions we are facing with water vole conservation. Is a mink-free Britain within sight? What does a secure future for water voles actually look like? What does effective water vole mitigation look like? How do you plan a water vole translocation? What is genetics telling us? Do water voles really need water? And how many water voles are enough water voles? \nThis is a day for everyone with a professional or personal interest in water voles. Get the most up-to-date picture of how water voles are faring\, what is working\, and how we can all help. Put your questions to the experts and come away inspired to help make water voles a true conservation success story. \nThis is an in-person event only and places are limited\, so book early to secure yours. \nDate: Saturday 16th January 2027 \nTime: 09:00 – 16:30 \nVenue: The Priory Rooms Meeting and Conference Centre\, 40 Bull Street\, Birmingham\, B4 6AF \nTicket costs: \n\nEcological consultants: £130\nNGO staff: £85\nOther: £85\nNWVMP volunteers: £40\nStudents: £40\n\n  \n  \nPhoto credit: Sally Grosart
