10 years on, the creek is now a healthy and diverse ecosystem, filtering water through its reeds beds, capturing flood sediments, capturing carbon, and recycling nutrients. With a decade of proof from 2006 to 2016 this demonstration has been so successful that it is now going big! In partnership with up to 20 other landowners, this initiative is expanding to 23, 000Ha and incorporating the whole catchment. Called The Mulloon Community Landscape Rehydration Project (MCLRP) it will also restore over 40km of waterway.
Such is the scale of this project, it has caught the attention of The United Nations. MCLRP been selected as one of five models of sustainability supported by the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network. A project of this scale will vastly improve productivity, water quality, stream flow, biodiversity and resilience of the landscape. For its innovative interventions, and community-based approach, MCLRP will serve as a model for restoring catchments world-wide.
Join Peter Andrews, Tony Coote, Gary Nairn, Martin Royds, Dr John Field, Dr Michael Wilson and the Mulloon Institute team as they walk and talk you through this transformational initiative. Walking Mulloon Creek, guided by the experts, is the best way to learn first-hand about the principles of landscape rehydration and how it repairs our waterways, restores the riparian zones and hydrates the landscape. This is a great opportunity to learn how the MCLRP will transform the landscape, and how this initiative can be applied to your own catchment.
The event will be taking place at the Mulloon Creek Natural Farms, Approx 10km east of Bungendore, NSW. Tickets can be purchased via the Mulloon Institute’s Website:http://themullooninstitute.org/
