CBRIN facilitated a Landscape Rehydration Collaboration Lab for ACT Natural Resource Management (ACTNRM), bringing together ACT land managers, researchers, and policy experts to discuss challenges and opportunities in landscape rehydration as part of the Australian Government's National Soils Action Plan. Participants examined seven key landscape rehydration techniques across a range of contexts throughout the workshop, sharing their experiences and building a group understanding of the high-level issues that need to be addressed.
Key insights included the importance of site-specific diagnostics, long-term maintenance planning, community engagement, and a whole-of-government approach to avoid siloed work within the sector. The collaborative approach generated momentum for cross-sector partnerships and laid the foundation to create a future working group and ongoing activities to leverage shared expertise across agencies.
