Mulloon Institutes Rehydration Initiative
The Mulloon Rehydration Initiative is a catchment-scale project that aims to rebuild the natural landscape function of the Mulloon catchment and boost its resilience to climatic extremes for more reliable stream flows, improved ecosystem functioning and enhanced agricultural productivity. Includes development and implementation of a comprehensive Integrated Monitoring Plan. This project began in the Queanbeyan-Palerang area of NSW but has now been replicated in other areas of Australia. The Mulloon Rehydration Initiative is a model for landscape scale repair across Australia which has led to increased productivity, biodiversity and soil fertility and soil organic carbon, improved water quality and quantity and resilience to climatic extremes. The results of the project reflect healthier landscapes and the production of high quality, nutrient dense food.
