The Solar Power and Wildlife/Natural Resources Symposium is now the Solar Wildlife & Ecosystems Research Meeting!
Join REWI for the 2025 Solar Wildlife & Ecosystems Research Meeting (SWERM), taking place November 17-20, 2025.
Location to be announced.
The biennial Solar Wildlife & Ecosystems Research Meeting (SWERM), formerly the Solar Power and Wildlife/Natural Resources Symposium, convenes stakeholders from academia, industry, the conservation sector, and public agencies to share and engage in the latest science surrounding ecological interactions and the solar buildout. Additionally, the SWERM is a forum for thought leaders to review the state of the science and identify research gaps and priority questions. The SWERM identifies key concepts around balancing conservation and a rapidly growing solar market, and highlights what we know and emerging topics/questions.
Registration for the 3rd biennial Solar Wildlife & Ecosystems Research Meeting will open in summer 2025. Check out the Meeting Webpage for information on 2025 sponsorship levels and benefits, and keep an eye out for updates around calls for proposals and abstracts!
This meeting is organized and presented by the Renewable Energy Wildlife Institute (REWI) in consultation with a multi-stakeholder Planning Committee comprising representatives from the solar industry, environmental and conservation non-governmental organizations, state and federal agencies, and subject matter experts.
