Mulloon Institute

Thank you to all who joined us for the Mulloon Rehydration Conference on 1–2 May 2024. This event brought the Mulloon community from across Australia together for two days to celebrate the success of the Mulloon Rehydration Initiative (MRI) and share our vision for meeting the demand for landscape rehydration works across the country with national demonstration sites, regulatory reform for landscape rehydration works, expanding our national education program and much more! Below are just some of the highlights, we invite you to collaborate with us in our work rehydrating landscapes to restore ecological function, build resilience to climatic extremes, future-proof agriculture, and build biodiversity and natural capital for a brighter future for everyone. Thanks to Paul Girrawah House, Ngambri-Ngunnawal custodian of the Canberra region for his Welcome to Country.

Buy a litre – restore a metre! Mulloon Institute is excited to expand our presence across Australian communities through a new partnership launched today with IGA and Foodland, supported by Vitasoy. This collaboration brings us closer to our goal of restoring 2.5 million hectares of farmland, empowering farmers to create healthier, more resilient landscapes. Through this partnership, Vitasoy will contribute funds to rehydrate one square metre of land for every product sold at IGA and Foodland stores throughout November. These contributions will empower us to expand our work with farming families, delivering vital water management, land restoration techniques and education to farming communities on the front lines facing climate challenges. “Vitasoy’s support means we can make an even greater impact,” says Carolyn Hall, CEO of the Mulloon Institute. “This partnership is about futureproofing our land and ensuring Australian farmers have the resources to thrive.” 🔗 👉 https://buff.ly/3Uut8BJ Vitasoy Australia IGA Supermarkets Foodland Supermarkets Australia #landscaperehydration #landscaperestoration #biodiversity #regenerativeagriculture #resilience #ruralaustralia #soilhealth #drought #AusAg #droughtresilience #agriculture #naturepositivefarming #naturebasedsolutions #buyalitrerestoreametre #VitasoyMulloonInstitute

A glittering interactive diorama to highlight transpiration cycles and a magnetised landscape kit with felt, crochet and laser-cut timber components. These are the creations of some very imaginative ANU Design Studio students. Good luck to all the participating students finalising these wonderful prototypes as the semester rolls to a close!
