Welcoming The Mulloon Institute to "Urandangie", SNEL's Board Member, Bill Perrottet kindly opened his Black Mountain property, for The Mulloon Institute's workshop, Landscape Rehydration Fundamentals, on Friday 3 June.

An attentive crowd of forty two participants gathered in the woolshed to listen to the morning presentations by Peter Hazell, Mulloon's Principal Landscape Planner. It was followed by a farm walk along the Urangangie Creek, to learn about the significant rehabilitation work that Bill has undertaken along the creeklands.

NTLLS was pleased with the fantastic turnout for both their Landscape Rehydration Field Days, funded through the Local Landcare Services' Healthy Rivers Project, and delivered by The Mulloon Institute through Landcare partners, Gwymac Landcare and Southern New England Landcare.

"The Mulloon Institute is collaborating with Australian farmers and engaging local communities to rehydrate and regenerate landscapes, for improved agricultural productivity, enhanced environmental biodiversity, improved habitat for threatened species, and greater community resilience to drought, bushfire and flood."
