Mulloon Consulting update
After Sam Skeat’s visit to Mulloon Creek in July he spent a week in Millmerran, southern Queensland undertaking site assessments for four different landholders and delivering a facilitated discussion on the benefits of landscape rehydration to restoring functional processes in the landscape. Sam focused on understanding landscape processes, how to identify features that assist in hydration to develop farm management plans, and using plants and landforms to manage the flow of water. Thanks to Southern Queensland Landscapes and Millmerran Landcare for organising this property planning consultation.
The week in southern Queensland also allowed for the exploration of the synergies between landscape rehydration and grazing management and was a great opportunity to have a close up look at the Condamine River and consider the benefits of landscape scale environmental repair in that region.
In the Southern Tablelands, the team were busy too with report writing proceeding for a variety of site assessments progressing along with site assessments in Cooma and Michelago by Cam Wilson. Anne Gibson has been kept busy collaborating with a variety of organisations who, along with Mulloon Consulting Contracting and Certifying, were invited by Lismore City Council to submit quotations. These focused on the delivery of innovative landscape rehydration measures and training for rural landholders in the Lismore Shire and on an index for landscape rehydration aiming to monitor changes over time and identification of the impacts of management interventions.
