Cornwall & Isles of Scilly Biological Recorder's Conference 2026

Join us for the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Biological Recorders Conference 2026, exploring the theme Nature in the Dark.

This year’s conference will explore nocturnal species, the affects of light pollution, novel survey techniques and much more through a series of fascinating talks.

The conference takes place on Saturday 9th May 2026, from 2:00pm to 9:30pm, at the Chapel Lecture Theatre and The Stannary, University of Exeter, Penryn. You can attend in person or online.

The afternoon and evening will include talks, short presentations and discussion, with a evening meal provided for in-person attendees.

There will also be optional “after dark” workshops, including a bat walk, moth trapping, and demonstrations of night-time survey equipment, giving you the chance to try out different recording methods.

The conference is suitable for both experienced recorders and those new to recording wildlife.
