Land Condition Community

The Land Condition Community is a member-led special interest group of land condition professionals spanning sectors and job types, dedicated to promoting best practice in the specialism. The Community steers the IES activities related to land condition and supports the development of tailored membership services, exploring synergistic collaborations with key stakeholders in the sector where relevant. The Community also has a dedicated network for Early Career Professionals, providing valuable opportunities for professional development and peer-to-peer learning.

The Community is led by a six-person Steering Group. 

Land Condition Signposting Resource

The Land Condition Signposting Resource (LCSR) has been developed by the IES Land Condition Community to provide an initial point of assistance for Land Condition practitioners, of all levels of experience, to locate key information sources across a broad range of topic areas relevant to the Land Condition sector. ​

To complement existing resources in the sector, the LCSR focussed on providing information on key organisations and networks relevant to land condition. It should be used in tandem with other resources to identify specific guidance and/or legislation.​

​This resource recognises the wide-ranging nature of the specialism and aims to signpost to relevant interdisciplinary organisations/networks. In the future we hope to build on the LCSR to provide complementary resources for the air and water specialisms, with an emphasis on cross-cutting organisations. ​

The LCSR is not exhaustive and will be periodically reviewed and added to. We actively welcome feedback on this resource, particularly where there any gaps. Please get in touch with any feedback.​
