And the locally brewed conference beers were a great touch too!

The talks were also high-quality and thought-provoking. Personal highlights were talks on: restoration of Florida wetlands, the FIT principle for wetland restoration, economics of wetland restoration, lakes in a warming world, side effects of invasive species removal, Rights of Wetlands...

One of the best field trips at any conference I've been to: visiting the stunning Männikjärve bog: a near-natural bog within the Endla Protected Area.

Many thanks to all who contributed ideas to the report, via workshops, discussions, or presentations. Also thanks to @clr-cambridge.bsky.social for making connections that developed into this project!
