Mulloon Rehydration Conference recap and thank you

Thank you to all who joined us for the Mulloon Rehydration Conference on 1–2 May 2024. This event brought the Mulloon community from across Australia together for two days to celebrate the success of the Mulloon Rehydration Initiative (MRI) and share our vision for meeting the demand for landscape rehydration works across the country with national demonstration sites, regulatory reform for landscape rehydration works, expanding our national education program and much more!

The video captures just some of the highlights, we invite you to collaborate with us in our work rehydrating landscapes to restore ecological function, build resilience to climatic extremes, future-proof agriculture, and build biodiversity and natural capital for a brighter future for everyone.

Thanks to Paul Girrawah House, Ngambri-Ngunnawal custodian of the Canberra region for his Welcome to Country.

Thanks to the entire Mulloon Institute team led by Carolyn Hall and Matt Egerton-Warburton
