The Autumn 2026 edition of the Resilience eNews showcases the amazing work of the Institute over the summer months.
It reflects the unprecedented levels of project activity that the team is undertaking around the country through the largest program of grants and direct engagement that the Institute has ever delivered. Congratulations to Carolyn, Glen Norris (Mulloon Consulting General Manager), and all the team for their work in securing and now delivering such an extensive range of programs.
Among the major programs, you will read about the First Nations Water Skills certificate, the Landscape Function Toolkit (LiFT) and the Training, Implementation, Mentoring, Monitoring and Evaluation (TIMME) projects – all of which contribute to our mission of delivering landscape rehydration at scale through collaboration, demonstration and research.
Since our last newsletter, I had the privilege of representing the Institute at the Wilmot Field Day – along with our CFO Jeanette Rawlings and Landscape Planner Penny Cooper (pictured right). This year the Institute was a sponsor for the first time and our work at Cavan Station through the Agronomeye Platform was featured. We remain an important contributor to ‘Australia’s Premier RegenAg Event.’
Closer to home, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting our new General Manager of Mulloon Creek Natural Farms, Tom Redfern and his family. I’m sure you will enjoy Tom’s first foray into the Resilience eNewsletter, and we look forward to further growth of the Institute’s farming work. As always, I am very grateful to have the opportunity as Chair to visit our properties, meet our staff, enjoy the beauty and legacy of the Home Farm and on this most recent trip explore literally ‘to the back fence.’ (bike pictured at right for evidence!)
I’m sure you will enjoy this extensive newsletter, best wishes for the Autumn months ahead and thank you for your support and interest in the Institute.
As we approach the end of financial year, please consider making a donation to support the amazing work of Mulloon Institute. Now more than ever your donation can assist us in delivering impact where it matters most in the Australian landscape.
