A video about KSCA’s 3rd Land Studio camp in Hartley, NSW at the farm of Erika Watson and Hayden Druce in Hartley, NSW. A romp stomping good time where we reimagined fencing as a an artform among many other wonderful things!

An essay by Georgie Pollard

Cementa 22 featured the wonderful work of Georgie Pollard and Leanne Thompson, allowing us to revisit all the elements of the Capertee Hydrology Project.

Louise Duff, catchment coordinator for Midcoast Council in NSW, was an enthusiastic participant in Land Studio 2. Here she reflects on the experience.

Land Studio 2, staged in November 2021, was a total thrill made possible by beautiful collection of happy, hardworking, creative campers.

It’s 56 pages long, raw and wriggling, and it has a free pull-out poster. We have finally published the newspaper that tells the story of ‘An artist, a farmer and a scientist walk into a bar’, and we’d love to share it with you.

The Capertee Hydrology Project wove it's way through the Valley and its community in so many ways, highlighting the importance of slow-moving water for resilient landscapes. Leanne Thompson tells the story.

A little while back, 21 creative art students from the Uni of Wollongong camped in the Capertee Valley. They were there to help kickstart a new KSCA project called Land Studio, in which we’re blurring the boundaries between art, farming and land regeneration.

Wouldn’t we all wish to have a pilot license at the age of 87 and be inventing remarkably useful things. Meet the indomitable Allan Yeomans and hear about Lucas’s journey into soil carbon sequestration toolmaking in our latest video.

Water, warp, weft, plants and people: Leanne Thompson describes the important steps in the Capertee Hydrology Project that have been taken recently.

Wildfood Store was just a newborn at the start of the AFS project. Here’s the story of this bold, beautiful (and entrepreneurial!) project.

Our latest video on the artist, farmer, scientist journey: this one is about the humus project.

It’s funny how time gets away from you. This year I took the big leap to study full-time Honours in Ecology at UNE, and while I am loving every minute of it, my brain is too full of measuring pasture groundcover and landscape function to make space for anything else. And so, despite my best intentions I am yet to publish my farmer stories for ‘Farmers in Flux’.

Bringing the solar project to a beautiful, symbiotic conclusion at Bula Mirri farm: watch our brand new video!

Oberon has a new ‘Field to Forest’ Festival in April, and our very own Diego Bonetto is in the heart of the action.

Jono and Laura aren’t sure what the ‘humus house’ installation at Cementa and Groundswell really was, or where it’s going… but like humus, there’s a lot going on.

Imogen Semmler and Judi Earl have cooked up something fabulous: The Grazing Game. How do you maintain a healthy ecosystem in your paddocks, weather drought, withstand market fluctuations and other curve balls, while making a living from keeping livestock? Imogen got Cementa punters to wear their strategy hats last November at the first trial of the Game.

Video time! Revisit that sparkling September weekend in Bingara…

A new KSCA project will explore the links between hydrology, landscape health and community wellbeing.

Pictures and recollections from the second, very full day of Groundswell in Bingara.
