Bird’s eye view of the Swan Brook community planning their natural infrastructure for landscape rehydration

Mulloon Institute is excited to celebrate a new nature-positive collaboration with Soils For Life as we continue to tackle the challenge of rehydrating catchments on a national scale. Through a community-focused, peer-to-peer approach, we are actively engaging landowners across Australia to restore vital ecosystems in their catchments through our Communities of Practice work.

In the Swan Brook catchment in Northern Tablelands NSW, local farmers, with the support of GWYMAC Landcare, are leading efforts to rehydrate their landscapes. As Lee Thompson from GWYMAC Landcare highlights, ‘Landholders and biodiversity were suffering, but we now know there are sustainable ways to hold onto water longer.’

To learn more about this initiative and see our progress in action, watch the film and read the article now showcased on the Soils For Life website, with a case study to follow in 2025. Join us as we build resilience and create lasting, positive change for the land!
