The Mulloon Institute Field Day

The Mulloon Creek Field Day is an important opportunity for The Mulloon Institute to share with people the work that has been done, what has been achieved so far and what other activities are currently underway. People have the opportunity to see on-ground works first-hand, including the creek rehabilitation site and the step diffusion system on sloping country. In the afternoon they hear from experts in the scientific and regenerative agriculture fields, and have the chance to ask questions in the Q&A session. It's a great networking event that helps solidify connections in the regenerative agriculture arena.

After the driest nine months on record and after bushfires within the upper half of the catchment, finally the heavens opened on the 9th February dumping possibly 200mm at the top end of the catchment.
