Symposia
Every two years, the National Wetland Trust organises a gathering of community groups, landowners, iwi, scientists, wetland managers and students who are interested in sharing and learning about wetland restoration. Usually spread over three days, the symposia include field trips, practical training opportunities, soapbox sessions and presentations from a wide range of enthusiasts and professionals.
In 2020 we teamed up with DOC, ECan, NZ Freshwater Science Society and others to host the first ever INTECOL (International Ecology Wetland) Conference in NZ.
Our next symposium will be held in Northland, April 2024.
Abstracts are now being accepted. Closing date 23 November 2023

Thanks to our supporters
