Eighteen community members from the Goulburn based group Community Voice for Hume attended a ‘Water Resilience in the Landscape’ workshop in February, including farmers, landholders and other interested parties.

Community Voice for Hume* aims to promote the adoption of Regenerative Practices to help the farmers and residents of Hume to adapt to farming and rural life, in times of drought and rising temperatures in a way that will improve the environment, create new jobs and build the community.

The day included a theory discussion about the carbon and water cycles, regenerative agriculture and landscape rehydration.

Participants were introduced to the catchment-scale Mulloon Rehydration Initiative and were taken on a walk to Peter’s Pond and Peter’s Weir, the Step-Diffusion rehydration earthworks on hillslope and the practical serrated tussock weed trial.

Discussing ecological concepts in the field is a great way to understand the principles the Mulloon Institute are applying on-ground.

If your Landcare group, organisation or school are interested in a similar workshop or a tour of Mulloon Creek, please contact us via info@themullooninstitute.org

The Mulloon Rehydration Initiative is jointly funded through the Mulloon Institute and the Australian Government’s National Landcare Program. The initiative is also assisted by the NSW Government through its Environmental Trust.

* Community Voice for Hume will be the launching the ‘Goulburn Mulwaree Grazing and Farming Group’ on Thursday 18 March 2021. More details HERE.
