Natural Sequence Farming at Spring Creek, ANU Masters student Nick Streeton reports (HQ)
Natural Sequence Farming (NSF) is a holistic land management initiative developed by Mr Peter Andrews in the Upper Hunter Valley in the 1970s that seeks to reintegrate stream flow and floodplain processes to sustainably drive production and nature conservation outcomes.
The Lake Cowal Foundation (LCF) undertook the first NSF trial project in the Australian semi-arid zone in 2006 and has been working closely with many partners on this project since then.
Two Masters students from the Australian National University (ANU) have done research on this project since its inception. In 2009, Nick Streeton from ANU, sponsored by the LCF completed his masters on the development of an upstream sediment budget for Spring Creek. This is an interview with him at the completion of this Masters.

    Has a new study been done on this in the last 12months, it would be interesting if the increased rainfall this year has made an impact on the data originally collected, great video Peter Andrews was a man of his time.

      It is not 1+1, it is x+y. That is why the answer is not always 2.

      0:30 - this is a problem that dates back to settlement and the land in many areas still has not recovered. It's easy to say how obviously wrong everyone's approach is when you've been handed the answer, but this is a problem that needs to be solved with education, not arrogance.

      Academics need numbers for receiving funding. We instead are happy with just the pictures😁

    The project has credibility across a large range of stakeholders, from NRM groups, to Educational institutions and local farmers. This video represents the unscripted views of respected stakeholders within the Lake Cowal area. In 2008 over 500 school children visited the LCCC. Farmers throughout the Lake Cowal catchment and as far as Victoria have attended training courses that have helped equip and inform them about sustainable and restorative agricultural management practices.
