Upcoming events for BTO volunteers and supporters
From walks and talks to our annual conference, BTO runs lots of events throughout the year. Browse the listing below and use the filters to find an event that's right for you. By default, this page lists events for UK-wide audiences. Additional events tailored for particular audiences can be found on our pages for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England.
If you would like to book multiple places, please book your place then log out of your MyBTO account and book each additional place as a separate transaction. We aren't able to take multiple bookings through a single transaction at the moment.
- We also run training courses and youth-only events and training.
