A workshop aimed at helping farmers complete farm environment plans required by councils is being held in Wellsford next month.
The free event is being organised by Beef + Lamb NZ and Greenlea Premier Meats at the Wellsford Community Centre on Thursday, October 6, from 10am to 3pm.
A Beef + Lamb spokesperson said the format of the workshops had been “refreshed” to make it suitable for everyone, whether they already had Land or Farm Environment Plans or were only just starting the process.
The day will look at risks and actions needed for each farm, and includes documenting key farm resources, opportunities, risk management, implementation and a monitoring and review framework.
“This hands-on workshop will get farmers started on our planning approach and position them well for future consumer or regulatory requirements and further topic-specific workshops,” the spokesperson said.
“They’ll learn practical techniques they can use every day to identify and assess land management units.”
Follow-up events will be held one to two months after the first workshop, and further sessions may be held at a later date on specific subjects as required.
