Testimonial

“After attending an introductory workshop in the Malpas Dam catchment, I immediately recognised the potential of the Mulloon Institute’s landscape rehydration methods to enhance the health of the surrounding landscapes, thereby improving the water quality entering Council’s storage dams.

“We were thrilled with the interest the 3-day Bootcamp attracted in October 2023. Land managers not only gained insights into landscape rehydration theories and their practical application to their own contexts, but also actively participated in a hands-on project on the final day.

“Peter and Erin from Mulloon, as presenters, were highly engaging and provided supportive leadership during the practical session. We are confident that land managers in the catchment will apply their newfound knowledge in a positive way that will have great flow on benefits for water users in the broader community.”
