Tertiary student visits

The leaky weir at Peter’s Pond on the Home Farm

Canberra Institute of Technology – 11 March 2021

Twenty three mature-age students from the Canberra Institute of Technology – Conservation and Land Management course visited the Mulloon Institute’s Home Farm to learn about sustainable biomes, landscape rehydration and how to manage farmland that benefits humans and the natural environment in a sustainable way. Specifically, they learnt about landscape rehydration and how it is being implemented at the farm, including leaky weirs, the importance of snags in-stream and the use of contours to slow down water flow across paddocks. They were also introduced to the Mulloon Rehydration Initiative.

Take home comments from students included: anything is possible, don’t be afraid of weeds, read the landscape, slow the flow and take the long-view when dealing at landscape scale.

They learnt about reading the landscape and how design can be used at the paddock, farm and catchment scales.
