Survey now open: We want to hear from young people!

A major new survey has been launched by the NSW Government in partnership with Regional Youth and the NSW Advocate for Children and Young People (ACYP) to engage with young people on issues that matter most to them.

The ‘Your Voice, Our Future’ survey is an opportunity for young people aged 14 to 24 to raise their voices, knowing that decision-makers will listen.

The survey will be used to inform decisions around the design of a new permanent voice for young people within the NSW Government

We encourage young people across NSW to have their say. The survey can be found at here. 

Kind regards,

Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development

 Hosts: Nick and Hugo Blomfield

RCS Keep in Touch days are an opportunity for like-minded people to gather on a property to discuss topics relevant to that region and see firsthand how RCS principles are being applied in similar land types and production systems. We encourage you to invite neighbours, staff, family and friends as everyone is welcome.

 Discussion Topics

• The balance of fungi and bacteria in the system
• The most efficient infrastructure for your enterprise
• Holiday paddocks - Balancing optimal grazing management with mental wellbeing
• Soil Carbon Farming with CarbonLink

We're thrilled to announce that ‘Cheyenne’ was recently awarded Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) as part of their diversification strategy encompassing soil carbon farming as part of the businesses mix. At the KIT Day, you can meet the team from CarbonLink. They'll be there to explain how they helped Nick measure and verify the carbon stored deep within the soil, leading to those valuable ACCUs.
