We have five years to stop nature’s decline.
We know the challenge. Together, we can deliver the solutions.
Join us on Thursday, 11 September, at the Bristol Beacon for a day to celebrate nature in the UK, and discuss the action we must take together to restore it.
Nature brings immense value to our lives, to the economy and to communities. Whether it's protecting communities from flooding and extreme weather, supporting rural areas and food production, helping us tackle climate change, or improving our mental health – nature underpins it all.
At our first Wild Summit, we’ll bring together nature lovers, community campaigners, businesses, politicians, officials, and policy experts for a day of presentations, panel discussions, workshops, and conversations focused on the critical importance of investing in nature. We’ll celebrate the incredible work being done by charities, community groups, innovators, and land managers, as well as exploring the vital roles of tourism, research, upskilling, and corporate and government projects in restoring our natural world.
The goal? To help the UK halt and reverse nature's decline by 2030.
Why now?
The UK has signed an ambitious global agreement to halt and reverse the decline of nature by the end of this decade. However, with just five years left until the deadline, nature is still facing rapid decline.
At the Wild Summit, we’ll demonstrate the vital role nature plays in daily lives and the urgent need for large-scale investment and action.
What is the Wild Summit all about?
The Wild Summit is about coming together to make real change happen. It’s a day for sharing knowledge, forging partnerships, and inspiring action. It’s about celebrating what’s already working, while also asking: how can we do more and do better?
Together, we can restore Britain’s natural heritage and safeguard it for generations to come.
What can you expect on the day?
With over 100 speakers and over 30 sessions, our inaugural Wild Summit will offer an extensive range of keynote presentations, partner events, panel discussions and practical workshops on everything from nature friendly farming to freshwater, planning policy to natural capital.
