Learning about landscape rehydration

Landholder tour at Mulloon Creek Natural Farms for NQ Dry Tropics.

TMI’s Education team are developing a suite of new Landscape Rehydration courses, bootcamps and skills workshops, set to launch in 2022. Thanks to funding assistance from the NSW Government’s Environmental Trust, the team are working on a range of foundation and Intermediate levels, for a diversity of landscapes, uses and scales. From small blocks to catchment communities, these courses will offer practical, relevant skills in understanding principles and practices for landholders in applying Landscape Rehydration to their properties. Watch this space as the team take the activity-based courses on the road in 2022.

The Scots College and the Education team are continuing with the co-development of a regenerative agriculture program for primary schools. TMI Home Farm hosted a ‘writers retreat’ with Coordinator of Experiential Education, Kym McMaster and children’s book writers and illustrators, to continue the charming story of Wanda the water droplet through her journey in the water cycle and introduced new characters that engage young minds in earth science. 

We are excited to announce that Home Farm tours are now open for secondary school bookings for Term 1, 2022 onwards! This day-long immersive experience is suitable for a range of science disciplines and covers the research we undertake on our catchment-scale landscape rehydration project with the Mulloon Rehydration Initiative.
