400;\">SCBNA&#8217;s North American Congress for Conservation Biology is the premier gathering of the region\u2019s conservation community and serves as a leading forum for presenting the latest conservation research and practice to address today\u2019s conservation challenges. The next iteration of NACCB &#8211; promoted as the North American Congress for Conservation and Restoration (NACCR) &#8211; will take place in Milwaukee, WI, USA, July 12\u201316, 2026, with the theme: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conservation &#038; Restoration for People &#038; Nature<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This 2026 Congress will be jointly hosted with the Society for Ecological Restoration and SER\u2019s Midwest Great Lakes Chapter. SCBNA, SER and SER-MWGL Chapter all traditionally host their own North American Congresses and annual meetings, but such efforts will be combined with NA<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By bringing together SCBNA, SER, and SER-MWGL Chapter, this Congress fosters interdisciplinary collaboration at a critical time for conservation and restoration science. Milwaukee\u2019s historical and ongoing efforts to restore the Milwaukee River, revitalize green spaces, and protect its freshwater resources mirror the Congress\u2019s mission to integrate science, practice, and community engagement. The city\u2019s blend of ecological resilience, cultural vibrancy, and collaborative conservation initiatives underscores the importance of solutions that serve both people and nature. Attendees will have the unique opportunity to engage with local and global experts, share best practices, and contribute to shaping a more sustainable and equitable future for ecosystems and communities alike.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NACCR 2026 offers a diverse range of symposia, concurrent sessions, workshops, short courses, and field trips to advance discourse and foster collaboration across disciplines. The Congress serves as an open platform for sharing unique perspectives and adapting emerging ideas, technologies, and methods in conservation and restoration science. SCBNA, SER, and SER-MWGL Chapter are committed to promoting diversity by providing dedicated spaces for Indigenous communities and marginalized groups to share their perspectives, experiences, and practices at the 2026 Congress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To address barriers faced by underrepresented groups in conservation, SCBNA, SER, and SER-MWGL Chapter are actively exploring ways to enhance Congress attendance and participation. This includes offering scholarships, travel grants, and other related opportunities. Information regarding these options will be promptly shared on the Congress\u2019 2026 website when they are made available.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-69llqw3-5e2444852b2cafc1246f2f1b8aff273d av_one_third  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_two_third  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div  '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mdrz4e19-7ce0d2e68602022b30df511e35a9a2fd\">\n.avia-image-container.av-mdrz4e19-7ce0d2e68602022b30df511e35a9a2fd img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-mdrz4e19-7ce0d2e68602022b30df511e35a9a2fd .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-mdrz4e19-7ce0d2e68602022b30df511e35a9a2fd av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-5  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-176290 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-176290 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/scbnorthamerica.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Logo-300x261.jpg\" alt='' title='Logo'  height=\"261\" width=\"300\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scbnorthamerica.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Logo-300x261.jpg 300w, https:\/\/scbnorthamerica.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Logo-768x668.jpg 768w, https:\/\/scbnorthamerica.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Logo-705x613.jpg 705w, https:\/\/scbnorthamerica.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Logo.jpg 885w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mdrz2cni-0234f3e06733188bedc34df50fd6391c '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Thank you to\u00a0<strong>Brooke Weiland<\/strong> with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brookeweiland.com\/\">Brooke Weiland Studios<\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for her assistance with Congress design elements, including our Congress logo.
