Projects
‘Creating Resilient Landscapes to Secure our Farming Future’ was an educational event for landholders conducted in the woolshed at 'Windy Station', Pine Ridge on the Liverpool Plains on the 13th of May 2021.
On 25 June 2020, the Upper Mooki Landcare group proudly launched the ‘Upper Mooki Rehydration Project’. This innovative, catchment-wide hydrology project focuses on soil as a ‘sponge’ in the landscape and is one of only a few of its type in Australia.
This Plan will provide the foundation for a diverse range of activities that Upper Mooki Landcare will deliver alongside its partners in the coming years. This project is supported by North West Local Land Services, through funding from the Australian Government’s National Landcare Program.
