Earlier this week, on World Wetlands Day, CIEEM held an online conference looking at a range of topics focused on river recovery and bringing our rivers back to life. Penny Lewns, Vice President of CIEEM opened the morning session, with Max Wade, CIEEM President chairing the afternoon. |

Last month I attended the River Trust Autumn Conference in Bristol, right on the River Avon. The conference took place at a waterside café, most appropriate to the topic of the day. Over 150 delegates attended from trusts, statutory agencies, academia, and consultancies, providing a variety of perspectives. The theme centred around the Challenges of the 25 Year Plan, with a keynote speaker followed by 4 sessions looking at various aspects of river management. |
The two day conference was a very interesting and educational experience with a range of talks and workshops from different organisations available. There certainly was a lot to take in and lessons learned from other organisations projects that could be applied to any future projects in the UBOCP area.
| Thank you to all who attended the conference, and contributed towards the 360+ attendees this year - our largest so far! This blog offers reflections and thoughts from a couple of presenters at this years conference. |  |
