Taking place on 14 and 15 June 2022, the conference offers two days of presentations and site visits with environmental NGOs, practitioners, academics, researchers and statutory agencies providing a great opportunity to learn and share experience on:

• The role of lakes in the context of nature recovery networks, landscape and catchment scale restoration

• Engagement of citizens in understanding lakes

• How lake restoration is being delivered across England

The conference will be based at Nunsmere Hall in Cheshire, with speakers, networking and the opportunity to share posters, followed by an optional conference evening meal.

The second day is based around two field visits to internationally designated lakes in Cheshire, Hatchmere and Tatton Mere. Delegates will be able to see and hear about issues affecting them, and discuss solutions implemented for their restoration, including the introduction of beavers, restoring the hydrological regime, altering fish assemblages and improving water quality.
