Join us and the Upper & Middle James Riparian Consortium on October 14th for the 2026 Virginia Buffer Summit at Hungry Mother State Park in Marion, Virginia! This year’s theme is “Buffers Across Virginia: People, Place, and Purpose”. We’ll highlight the various buffer work happening across Virginia’s diverse and vibrant ecosystems, geographical considerations for buffer success, and local leaders championing restoration across the Commonwealth.
Whether you’re a buffer novice or seasoned practitioner, an Appalachian local or traveling from the coast, the Buffer Summit will have something for everyone! Stay tuned for the full schedule as well as pre and post Summit excursions exploring this beautiful region.
Register for the 2026 Buffer Summit here to reserve your spot. Lodging is filling up fast, so book accommodations soon – Hungry Mother State Park lodging information is also available.
**The Roundtable has offered our partners to use a complimentary code upon registration “Rappahannock2026”
