Hometree’s annual conference, Changing Landscapes, is a strategic forum for those with the power, mandate and ambition to reshape Ireland’s landscapes. With the EU Nature Restoration Regulation now in force - and Ireland already behind - the question is no longer if we act, but who enables it and what’s in the way. 

Linking social regeneration with ecological recovery, it will bring together landowners, Government and local authority leaders, corporates, investors and NGOs. 

Together, we will examine how regulation can translate into delivery, how investment can be aligned with long-term ecological outcomes, and how we build the physical and cultural infrastructure required to make restoration viable, investable and woven into the fabric of communities across Ireland.

The status quo is challenged through tough questions and pragmatic ideas. Come along, be inspired and informed, and play your role in committing to actions that can radically shift the needle on restoration across Ireland. Expect dynamic engagement opportunities, in-depth discussions, fresh insights, and actionable solutions.

Topics we’ll discuss include:

• Working the System - How change actually happens within existing structures, and how to navigate (or challenge) them to unlock restoration at scale.

• What it takes to Build - Insights from industry leaders on what it really takes to deliver impact at scale - leadership, risk, investment and long-term vision.

• Where influence matters - How the media sees decision making and power at play and where pressure can accelerate meaningful action.

• The Law - How legal frameworks enable, constrain or compel restoration, and what must change to move at the pace required.

The Changing Landscapes Conference 2026 is made possible with the generous support of our sponsors: M-CO and Broadlake.
