WALES YFC and the National Trust Eryri are beginning the search for the fifth Llyndy Isaf scholar.

Llyndy Isaf is a 614-acre upland livestock unit in the Nant Gwynant Valley.

The partnership between Wales YFC and the National Trust Eryri gives one lucky YFC member the chance to live on the farm and manage the land for a whole year.

Applications for the fifth scholar opened on Monday, 1 May and will close on Friday, 19 May.

The Llyndy Isaf Scholarship will give someone the opportunity to become skilled at decision-making, business management, and animal husbandry by running a working upland farm.

YFC members aged 18 to 26 are encouraged to apply for this fantastic opportunity to help them take a step onto the farming ladder.

The scholar will receive a salary of circa £18,731 as well as being responsible for the farm budget.

Accommodation and access to a National Trust farm vehicle are also provided as part of the package.

This year’s scholarship was launched at the Wales YFC Field Day in Ynys Môn on Saturday, 29 April.
