You're invited to join Watershed Landcare and Mulloon Institute for a jam-packed one-day workshop learning how to manage water and successfully implement a landscape rehydration project on your property.
We'll be in the shearing shed for the morning session, with an enlightening talk and demonstration by Erin Healy from Mulloon Institute.
In the afternoon we'll head out to the project site which is a gully erosion project. We'll observe how the remediation works done 10 years ago have worked, and where it might need repair. We'll then get hands-on, using the concepts we've learned to move some rocks and sticks into place to further repair the gully. You will go home with practical skills on how to repair similar sites on your property.
Learn about:
Fundamentals of water in healthy landscape function
Reading and interpreting rural landscapes
Skills in assessing and monitoring the health of creeks and gullies
Exploring landscape rehydration interventions
What we will do:
Learn the underlying theory and principles that underpin landscape function and landscape rehydration efforts.
See first-hand gully restoration works completed by Craig Sponholtz in 2014 and Cam Wilson in 2016.
Discuss best practice methods for installing natural infrastructure for landscape rehydration.
Hands-on repair and building workshop of in-stream structures.
This is quite a special opportunity with limited tickets available.
