A demonstration site and learning hub in Bowen, Queensland aims to create a meeting place for coming together and sharing ideas about grazing, ecology and everything in between.
The site at Mt Pleasant Station will become a “One-Stop Shop” for land managers looking for solutions to problems on their properties, with demonstrations of a range of grazing techniques, erosion control, technology and biodiversity monitoring on display.
The project takes a holistic approach to gully management, working with the landscape and treating gullies as an opportunity to reinstate ecosystem services and restore landscape function.
This will be achieved through the installation of small-scale, low-cost interventions that are currently being demonstrated and are functioning well in the Mulloon Creek project (MCLRP) near Canberra, designed and run by The Mulloon Institute.
