Mulloon Consulting Contracting & Certifying

Wheatbelt, WA

A major undertaking for the TMI/MCCC team including Nolani McColl, Carolyn Hall and Lance Mudgway (WA) has been the preparation of the Western Australia – Community Stewardship Grants 2020 – Landscape Rehydration Trial and Demonstration in the Wheatbelt of WA. This project has provided the opportunity for us to connect with a range of regenerative farmers in WA and has resulted in eight properties considering landscape rehydration under the grant. The Muresk Institute has agreed to partner on the grant along with Perth NRM, Regen WA, Wheatbelt NRM and South West Catchments Council. We are excited about the opportunity to work with landholders and NRM groups in WA.

Kangaroo Valley, NSW

June has also seen MCCC team members Cam Wilson and Anne Gibson on the road. Cam travelled to Kangaroo Valley to undertake a site assessment for a small but “jampacked” property with cattle, sheep, bees, market gardens and medicinal operations. A range of management measures were explored to improve water supply and pasture, identify areas for native revegetation along with the potential for forestry. 

Harefield, NSW

Anne and Cam together travelled to Harefield near Wagga Wagga where they undertook site assessments on two properties. They have explored how diversification might assist production and environmental values and how farm infrastructure and tree planting can deliver on ground benefits. The opportunities for landscape rehydration have also been explored at Harefield including the use of earth banks and plantings to manage surface water.

Mulloon Creek Natural Farms

And closer to home, the detailed farm planning process for the Home Farm and Duralla at Mulloon Creek Natural Farms has been progressing during June, keeping Cam Wilson busy considering all the opportunities to continue regenerative agriculture on our farms.
