Online

Join us on 9th September 2025 at 12:30pm for a 45 minute webinar introducing the SILOtoSOIL tool, a collaborative initiative developed by Midlands Land Events (MidLE) in partnership with the Society for the Environment (SocEnv).

Designed to break down silos and promote knowledge sharing across sectors and communities; this tool features:

  • An interactive mapping of organisations actively involved in the soil discussion
  • A searchable database of soil-related guidance and resources across sectors

During this session, we’ll explore how the tool can:

  • Support your work in land condition
  • Facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration
  • Strengthen connections across the professional community

You’ll also get early insight into the next phase of development, and learn how you can contribute to shaping the SILOtoSOIL tool’s future.
