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 Southern Highlands 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.

The Southern Highlands Landcare Network (SHLN) is an independent, not-for-profit network that aims to support Landcare activities as well as other environmental groups and individuals with a common purpose to work together in the Southern Highlands to care for the environment.

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.

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

If you have limited mobility, please contact us so we can assist.

This event is part of the 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 Kellys Creek Catchment —an exciting opportunity for local landholders to connect, learn, and collaborate on regenerative water and land management.
