Snowy Monaro Regional Council landholder visit

As part of their Sustainable Lands Project, the Snowy Monaro Regional Council brought interested community members to the Mulloon Institute’s living laboratory at Mulloon Creek Natural Farms to learn about the Mulloon Rehydration Initiative, including landscape rehydration, sustainable land management, soils and soil health, erosion control and leaky weirs. 

Landholders were interested in managing water on their lands, including techniques for slowing down run-off and remediating incised waterways, through vegetation to roughen surfaces and diversions to dissipate energy and speed. 

PRIVATE EDUCATIONAL TOURS

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.
