We are excited to announce plans for the “2026 Multi-Stakeholder Natural Resources State-of-the-Practice Meeting” to be held in Washington, DC and via web on Thursday, September 17, 2026. The program will feature top speakers who will provide a current snapshot of national and international natural resource-related policies and practices in the US and elsewhere. Participants will also hear about ongoing activities and emerging output of several multi-stakeholder Working Groups engaged in developing never-before-available resources to assist practitioners in public and private sectors concerning the conduct of natural resource damage assessment and restoration.
The meeting is held in cooperation with government and industry partners represented in the Group’s Industry/Trustee NRD Standing Committee.*
Finally, please note that materials related to major Group meetings in prior years may be viewed here.
* Participants in the Group’s Standing Committee include a small rotating group of multi-sector companies; representatives of five federal natural resource trustee Departments and Agencies (Agriculture, Commerce/NOAA, Energy, Interior, War); representatives from state trustee and tribal communities; and representatives from five invited national business/industry associations - American Chemistry Council, American Petroleum Institute, National Association of Manufacturers, National Mining Association, US Chamber of Commerce.
