Midlands Land Events (MidLE) is bridging the land, property, and environmental forum gap in the Midlands. MidLE connects, inspires, and informs land, property, and environmental professionals by providing a friendly platform with a regional focus on today’s big industry challenges and topics. MidLE's interactive and meaningful events provide value through sharing best practices, and experiences at all levels with fresh thinking. It is a non-profit community interest company that is looking for support to help us grow the local forum and support its vision. MidLE will collaboratively work with the community to understand its needs, skills, and development objectives and local environmental and climate challenges. All events and activities will be as sustainable as possible and mindful of their environmental impact.

National Contaminated Land Officers Group (NCLOG)
The National Contaminated Land Officers Group (NCLOG) has been established to give Contaminated Land Officers (CLOs) a confident role in helping to shape the future of land contamination in the United Kingdom. The purpose of NCLOG is to enable the CLO voice to be heard nationally at government and industry level and be seen as the ‘go to’ organisation when people want to reach Local Authority CLOs on national contaminated land matters.

The aim of the Forum is to allow all those with a professional interest in land quality in the East of England to come together with four main aims:
E Encouraging dialogue;
L Learning and dissemination of good practice and knowledge;
Q Quality partnerships are developed; and
F Future innovation promoted.
The forum has proved incredibly successful from the outset, with over 230 members from over 126 organisations, including consultants, regulators, industry and academia.

The Welsh Land Contamination Working Group comprises representation from all the Welsh regional Local Authority Contaminated Land Officer groups, NRW, Public Health Wales and Welsh Government.
Our aim is to aid in the consistent approach to dealing with land contamination throughout Wales, partly by producing guidance and advice but also through a series of training events for all LA and NRW staff that have involvement in land contamination.
