Catch and cycle water with natural infrastructure & better farm systems
The Mulloon Institute is launching a bold new project – the Communities of Practice Project (CoPP). Throughout 2023–2025, we are working with land managers in five locations around Australia to strategically improve water cycling and manage climate risk. Backed by the Australian Government's Future Drought Fund, this is a heavily subsidised program involving tailored strategies, one-on-one mentoring and demonstration projects. It offers producers a rare opportunity to rapidly gain skills in natural infrastructure and farm-system solutions proven to hold water in the landscape. We are thrilled to be kicking things off in northern NSW in September, followed by Emerald QLD in November and WA, NT and VIC in early 2024.
Join this bold new program presented by Mulloon Institute. This is a rare chance to be mentored by landscape planners with hydrological expertise, gain experience through on-ground projects and tailor strategies to your property.
Field Day: Learn how to read water processes to interpret landscape health. Discover a range of strategies for optimising water cycling and landscape function.
Bootcamp: Gain hands-on skills to catch water and build landscape resilience. Apply science-based tools and tactics to prepare your property for climate variability.
Mentoring, peer-learning & on-ground projects: ongoing in 2024. This heavily discounted program is worth $5,000 per person!
Presenters: Neil Cupples, Senior Landscape Designer and Louise Duff, Extension & Outreach Coordinator.
