Bush Heritage Australia & Turnip Creek landholders visit

Landholders from Turnip Creek near Benalla, Victoria visited the Mulloon Institute to learn more about the Mulloon Rehydration Initiative and view landscape rehydration works (leaky weirs), functional catchment restoration and regenerative farming practices. They viewed various leaky weir structures that have been installed along Mulloon Creek at the Duralla property as well as the suitably impressive growth that has occurred on the floodplain since rich nutrients were deposited there during recent floods.

This group of landholders are contemplating the implementation of a catchment scale project along Turnip Creek – we wish them all the best! 

The Turnip Creek group was also joined by 16 staff from Bush Heritage Australia, including immediate Past President Chris Grubb, Healthy Rangelands Manager SA Rangelands Glen Norris, and Ecologist Paul Foreman.

The following day the group visited Martin Royds’ Jillamatong property in Braidwood to see similar techniques that have been implemented there.
