Welcome
The British Land Reclamation Society (BLRS) is an interdisciplinary organisation - and Registered Charity - concerned with the reclamation, rehabilitation and restoration of land. This includes contaminated, derelict and abandoned land from mineral working and former urban and industrial uses.
As an organisation we cover education, best practice and research over the many subject areas involved in the science and practicalities of land reclamation in England, Scotland and Wales. This could be from ground work engineering and geotechnics, to economic regeneration and sustainable urban reclamation. It covers a wide range of expertise and we encourage continuing development across disciplines.
