North American Congress for Conservation & REstoration 2026

July 12-16, 2026

Milwaukee, WI

A combination of NACCB and SER’s “North American Conference,” this joint conference offers an opportunity for both societies to learn from each other and create a unique network-building event for our North American members.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin, provides a fitting backdrop for NACCR 2026. Nestled along the shores of Lake Michigan, Milwaukee embodies the intersection of urban and natural landscapes. The city’s commitment to environmental stewardship is evident in its innovative water management initiatives, restoration of native habitats, and strong community-driven conservation efforts. As a hub of ecological research and sustainability, Milwaukee offers a rich platform to discuss the challenges and opportunities of restoring and conserving ecosystems in ways that benefit both biodiversity and human well-being.

SCBNA, SER, and SER-MWGL Chapter also acknowledge that Milwaukee is located on the ancestral and unceded territories of the Potawatomi, Ho-Chunk, and Menominee peoples who have cared for these lands and waters for countless generations. We honor their histories, cultures, and enduring contributions to our communities, and commit to learning from and supporting Indigenous sovereignty, environmental stewardship, and cultural preservation. Let this be a reminder of our shared responsibility to the land of North America and to the people who have cared for it long before us.
