In order to rehabilitate degraded land, we need to retain natural resources, encourage nature’s self-repair cycles, and reduce the erosive impact of water, climate and grazing animals.

In this hands-on workshop, landscape planner Joe Skuse (Mulloon Institute) will share strategies to help you kick-start your landscape recovery.

Landscape Function Analysis – quick and inexpensive way to assess your landscape’s capacity to hold water, cycle fertility and build soil. A scientific method that anyone can use. A great way to build skills in interpreting ecosystem processes across your landscape.

Brushpacks – an affordable, DIY approach to repairing degraded land. Can be built across contours to trap soil, seeds, plant litter and nutrients. They also slow and filter water as it moves down a slope. Use locally available resources on your property to treat erosion sites and protect vulnerable areas.
