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. The SWERM is also 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.

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.
