What we do
Focusing on creating more resilient, productive and profitable landscapes where agriculture and the environment are working in unison.
Mulloon Institute is internationally acclaimed for its pioneering research in landscape rehydration and restoration. In 2016, our Mulloon Rehydration Initiative was recognised by the United Nations as one of five global model case studies for sustainable, productive farming. We conduct scientific baseline surveys and ongoing monitoring to measure the Initiative’s impact on Mulloon Creek and the surrounding catchment.
