About the LBEL Awards
Organised by Lantra and Landex, the awards recognise the achievements of learners who are pursuing careers in the industries that shape and nurture our natural world, including agriculture, horticulture, forestry, environmental conservation, and animal care. The awards highlight the innovative skills, dedication, and passion of the students and apprentices.
