PADDOCK TO PLANET
RESTORING AUSTRALIA'S LARGE WATER CYCLE WITH
HYDROLOGICAL 'BLUE' CORRIDORS
Paddock to Planet is a scalable environmental program that recreates ‘Blue’ Hydrological Corridors across Australia, to build climate resilient landscapes and heal the large water cycle.
Everyone has a role to play, including community engagement, education, training, implementation, scientific monitoring and evaluation. Let us know how you would like to get involved with Paddock to Planet and join TALS Institute in restoring Australia today.
If you are a land owner and manager in Australia and are interested in having your landscape rehydrated, please contact us at [email protected].
A Good News Story for the Climate
Australia’s landscape managers could lead the world by following the blueprint that this landscape contains.

GREENING THE GOULBURN RIVER, VICTORIA

Greening the Goulburn - Restoring the Goulburn River Catchment, Vic, Australia
Area: 1.6M ha approximately
Goulburn Catchment 2030 as it happened….
The Goulburn is now growing world class produce, exporting this to the world, and people in the local communities are energised and unified in solidarity around applying the secrets our ancient landscape has to offer. They are experiencing abundance like never before, there is employment everywhere. People have a sense of purpose, and they are proud about what they have transformed and how they have done this.
How?
With plants………………..
By recognising that our ancient landscape was built by plants and plant successions, and each carrying out a function as part of a process. There is all of a sudden a paradigm shift in agriculture.
There is a potential that lies within the ancient Australian landscape that we will never get back, however by recognising that plants built our landscape over the largest area for the longest period of time, under the longest hours of sunlight in the most extreme conditions, we have a scientifically proven practical example to work from.
This landscape was so powerful that it enabled the birds, flowering plants, fish species and megafauna to thrive - automatically.
We now recognise there is an opportunity under our feet, based off a model contained in this ancient landscape skeleton to restore the catchment, at varying scales, and be able to do this in the most efficient and cost effective manner.
The people in the Goulburn catchment have an enormous opportunity to restore the landscape to make our lives easier, simply by initiating the ancient functions and processes again.
Plants are the energisers of our landscape. After all, they convert sunlight into life, and in doing so, they cool the hot summer days and warm the frosty winter nights, via the daily water cycle, whilst they build fertility, even filtering fertility so it stays on the land. And the fertility can be recycled many times so that the complexity of the compounds generated are available for the edible crops we grow to nourish our nation and care for the health of our bodies.
Plants enable the water to slow down over the land and allow it to penetrate into our subsoils to be available for other plants.
Plants build soil.
Plants cause the sedimentary patterns to occur, most noticeable in floodplains, which a considerable area of the Goulburn is. We can work with them.
All these points above have been practically proven using the most rigorous science over the longest time and greatest area.
It is now available to all the landholders of the Goulburn River catchment to apply on their land and reap the benefits to create a world class food bowl.
We have the opportunity to deliver this in the most professional way.
The United Nations has declared 2021-2030 'The Decade on Ecosystem Restoration'. TALS Institute is supporting a series of landscape restoration projects right across the nation. We invite you to join this game and create or express an interest for a landscape restoration project in your local area within the Goulburn River catchment.
