A not-for-profit research, education and advocacy organisation on Mulloon Creek near Bungendore, NSW. It rehydrates degraded landscapes with natural sequence farming-style in-stream works such as leaky weirs, plus pasture management, and shows the results on its own working farm. It runs field days, bootcamps and consulting for landholders and built the Catchment Rehydration Selection Tool (CReST).
Founded in 2011 by Tony Coote AM and Toni Coote. Its flagship Mulloon Rehydration Initiative works across the Mulloon catchment with neighbouring landholders. Recent work includes an eDNA biodiversity study of the catchment (Sept 2026), completed works at Lorrina in the Durran Durra catchment (Aug 2026), and work linking cultural burns, biochar and rehydration (Oct 2026).
