Introduction
Mulloon Institute’s Communities of Practice Project (CoPP) is working with land managers around Australia to strategically improve water cycling and manage climate risk.
Funded by the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund, this program helps producers gain skills in water-retaining natural infrastructure and farm systems. Over two years, Mulloon Institute is guiding participants in planning and implementing nature-based drought resilience projects.
The program also fosters collaboration with Indigenous custodians and local communities of practice for long-term impact. From 2023–2025, five communities are taking part in two streams: Land Managers and NRM Professionals/Community Leaders.
