Wildlife Estates Annual Congress 2026, 8-10 September

The Wildlife Estates Annual Congress 2026 will take place from 8 to 10 September in Northamptonshire, United Kingdom, at the invitation of the UK delegation through the Symposium of Wildlife Farms & Estates England & Wales (WFE).

Bringing together national Wildlife Estates delegations from across Europe, the Congress will offer an opportunity to strengthen cooperation within the network, exchange experiences and discuss the challenges and opportunities linked to the implementation of the Wildlife Estates label in different countries.

The programme will showcase how England and Wales are advancing the Wildlife Estates scheme, with contributions from land managers of Level Two accredited properties, rural professionals and policymakers involved in the development of the label. Delegates will also visit Courteenhall Estate, a Level Two accredited property, and the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust’s Allerton Project, gaining first-hand insight into practical approaches to biodiversity conservation and sustainable land management.

Beyond the visits and presentations, the Congress will provide a valuable forum for dialogue, knowledge sharing and collaboration among Wildlife Estates partners from across Europe.
