Water heals landscapes!

Learn how to read water processes to interpret landscape health. Discover the strategies that deliver results. This introductory Landscape Rehydration Field Day, supported by Local Land Services (LLS) & Granite Borders Landcare Committee (GBLC) and presented by Mulloon Institute, provides a foundational understanding of a farm’s water cycle and our approaches to rehydrating rural landscapes.
Explore a range of strategies, including natural structures that can optimise a farm’s water cycle and improve landscape function.
Hosted by GBLC, a not-for-profit community organisation focused on providing the communities of Tenterfield and Stanthorpe with information relating to natural resource management.
The number of participants for this event is limited to 40. Given the nature of landscape rehydration, this workshop is for landholders who pay LLS rates on properties larger than 10 acres (4 Ha).
Mulloon Institute is a leading research and education organisation helping to build resilient regional communities by supporting the long-term, sustainable growth of Australian agriculture.

Date: Friday 17 October

Time: 9am – 3:00pm

Cost: $30 (plus booking fee, includes catering)

Presenters: Mulloon Institute’s Annabel Manning, Brooke Cunningham and Matt Smith

What to bring: Weather-appropriate clothing (hat, rain jacket, coat, gumboots) sunscreen, gloves, water bottle, pen paper, camp chair and lastly – enthusiasm.

What to expect: We lead active sessions that are a combination of sit-down presentations, group work activities and large group discussions. We will be heading into the field after morning tea and again in the afternoon for a couple of field walks, so please be prepared for walking and uneven terrain. If you have limited mobility, please contact Kathleen so we can assist. 

This program could not have happened without the initiative of Andrew Walsh of the Northern Tablelands Local Land Services, partnering with Granite Borders Landcare. The Landscape Rehydration series has been proudly co-developed by the NSW Government and Landcare.
