The beautiful landscape at Danthonia, venue for the 2-day Bootcamp
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.
