Water heals landscapes!

Learn how to read water processes to interpret landscape health. Discover the strategies that deliver results. This introductory Landscape Rehydration Field Day supported by Shoalhaven Landcare and Brogers Creek Landcare and presented by Mulloon Institute provides a foundational understanding of a farm's water cycle and our approaches to rehydrating rural landscapes.

Explore a range of strategies including natural structures that can optimise a farm’s water cycle and improve landscape function.

This Field Day offers landholders an introduction to landscape rehydration principles, and provides an opportunity to learn about Mulloon Institute’s Water Stewardship Program and its new Community of Practice in the Shoalhaven Catchment.

Mulloon Institute is a leading research and education organisation helping to build resilient regional communities by supporting the long-term, sustainable growth of Australian agriculture.

Date and time: Friday 29 August | 9:00am - 3:00pm

Cost: Free (Limited places available)

Presenters: Mulloon Institute's Erin Healy and Sharni Pike

This event is part of Mulloon Institute’s Water Stewardship Program, a bold initiative supported by WaterNSW and The Ian Potter Foundation. The program empowers communities in the Sydney Drinking Water Catchment to restore local water cycles, improve water quality, and build resilience to climate change through nature-based solutions.

This field day also celebrates the launch of a Landscape Rehydration Community of Practice and Demonstration Site in the Brogers Creek catchment —an exciting opportunity for local landholders to connect, learn, and collaborate on regenerative water and land management.

What to bring: Weather-appropriate clothing (hat, rain jacket, coat, gumboots) sunscreen, gloves, water bottle, pen paper, camp chair and lastly – enthusiasm.

What to expect:
We lead active sessions that are a combination of sit-down presentations, group work activities and large group discussions.
