ACT NRM and Upper Lachlan Landcare visit Mulloon

The group heading to Peter’s Pond

On a beautiful Friday afternoon, ACT NRM and Upper Lachlan Landcare recently visited Mulloon Creek Natural Farms. Nolani and Penny hosted the private group of 28 participants, taking them to look at landscape rehydration infrastructure including a leaky weir in Mulloon Creek, contours and planting on a hilltop as well as an alluvial fan entering the floodplain near Peter’s Pond.

Catchment-scale projects are inherently social projects that begin with the education and capacity building of communities on the process of landscape rehydration and associated regenerative land management approaches.

It was fantastic to share our learnings with ACT NRM and Upper Lachlan Landcare groups.
