A workshop to help farmers assess their land and environmental risks will be held in Kaipara Flats on Thursday, August 29.

The Beef + Lamb NZ event is designed to help farmers understand their natural resources and develop a written plan to remain productive while working to manage any potential risks to the environment.

Topics covered will include a stocktake of land, soil and water resources, an assessment of production opportunities and environmental risks, and drawing up a plan of action.

Attendees will be provided with Beef + Lamb NZ’s Land Environment Planning toolkit, plus specialist help to assess the potential impact individual farms may have on their surrounding environment. Farmers should take several copies of their farm maps that can be drawn on.

The workshop will run from 10am until 2.30pm at the Ranfurly Hall, and a light lunch and afternoon tea will be provided. Registrations are essential – email rachel.jukes@beeflambnz.com
