B+LNZ and New Zealand Young Farmers (NZYF) have entered into a Community Partnership. NZYF will support B+LNZ with their objectives relating to attraction and retention of young people into the sheep and beef sector.
Clubs
B+LNZ is focused on providing community connection, combating isolation and enhancing sector knowledge.
With 70 clubs across the country, joining a local club is easy and a great way to get to know your community, meet new people and learn new skills.
Opportunities for clubs
B+LNZ offers a number of leadership and upskilling opportunities that club members can take advantage of.
Undertake personal development programmes
Share your experiences with school students and educators! We're working to increase connections between schools and sheep and beef farms nationwide. We'll connect schools and Young Farmer clubs with farmers for farm visits or guest speaker opportunities. To streamline this process, we need to know who is willing to participate. Please fill out this survey to be added to our database should you be happy to share your experiences.
Workshops
B+LNZ offers a number of workshops covering everything from feed management to growing great lambs through to financial and business strategy.
You can find a full list of what workshops are on offer https://beeflambnz.com/programmes-partnerships/current-programmes/blnz-workshops
Contact your local regional team member to discuss options to suit your club to complete one of these workshops as a club.
