Mulloon Rehydration Conference 2024

The MRI – Scaling Landscape Rehydration

Presenting our Nature-based Solution

May 1-2, 2024 at Queanbeyan and on-farm at Mulloon Creek Natural Farms.

The Mulloon Rehydration Initiative (MRI) is a model that can be scaled up to deliver Nature-based Solutions across Australia through collaborative partnerships.

This conference will showcase the United Nations-recognised work of Mulloon Institute and our partners in driving change and positive environmental outcomes. We will be presenting the findings coming out of the MRI project, our Learning Programs and capacity building program, and our regulatory reform agenda. Panel discussions will dive into landholder experiences, the challenges and opportunities of financing landscape-scale restoration, and our work across Australia. We demonstrate real-world evidence of the returns when partners collaborate in transforming our landscapes with Nature-based Solutions.

The benefits flowing from these cooperations deliver:

• repairing waterways and reinstating the small water cycle
• increased biodiversity and enhanced natural habitat
• climate resilience
• improved productivity
• greater food and water security.

All levels of government and agricultural enterprise can benefit from the learning and practical applications that Mulloon Institute will present on the dramatic impact of rehydration projects. Together we can affordably achieve rapid restoration of land at a scale that delivers benefits to all Australians – for environment, farming and society.

DAY 1 features keynote speakers, highly engaging panel discussions with MRI landholders and industry experts, workshops, and discussions on how to more broadly roll effective programs and projects to increase the economic benefits of rehydration across Australia.

Then, join us for an evening of networking, drinks, and dinner, where you can connect with like-minded professionals and expand your circle over great food and conversation!

DAY 2 will feature field trips to see landscape rehydration in action.

DAY 1:     $365.00
DINNER:  $85.00
DAY 2:     $120.00 includes return bus from Queanbeyan to Mulloon Creek Natural Farms
