2023 Annual Report

From our Deputy Chair, Matt Egerton-Warburton

Phew, what a year...

We are a busy little organisation - 24 staff, $21m in assets and revenue from eggs and cattle (Mulloon Creek Natural Farms), consulting (Mulloon Consulting), education programs, bequests and grants.

Our goal is to rehydrate and restore landscapes and to create sustainable, profitable and resilient agricultural and environmental systems across Australia. We are conducting projects with governments, landholders, aboriginal land trusts, foundations and universities in many places including Bungendore, Burdekin, Narwietooma, Boyup Brook, Glen Helen, Tidbinbilla, Burren Junction and Turnip Creek.

This year at the home farm we hosted National Landcare Network, Australian Conservation Foundation, American Embassy staff, Malcolm Roberts of the Productivity Commission, Staff from Tanya Plibersek's office, Kristy McBain MP and Matt Burnell MP from the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Agriculture.

We partnered with Vitasoy Australia, the Future Drought Fund, Northern Hub, the NSW Government's Environmental Trust, NQ Dry Tropics, Government of Western Australia's Natural Resource Management Program, Southern ACT Catchment Group, Climate Friendly, The William Buckland Foundation, Bush Heritage Australia, TDM Foundation, Harris Farm Markets, Hewitt Foods, Charles Darwin University and Ahakeye Aboriginal Land Trust (amongst many others).

Congrats to Kelly Thorburn, Carolyn Hall and the team for putting together another outstanding report and Kathy Kelly for whipping our financials into shape.

And finally "hope"... we can do this, we can turn this around. With diligent work and good cheer we have the tools to restore and rehydrate our land. Join us!

Happy reading!
