We strive to empower people to restore landscapes and build them to be resilient, productive and healthy.
Start LearningNatural Sequence Farming
A nature based solution.
Natural Sequence Farming (NSF) starts with plants and water. The key to Natural Sequence Farming is that plants managed water; that’s what built the landscape.
NSF is about understanding our landscape's natural function and the natural sequences that manage everything. And using that knowledge to better manage your landscape.
Start Building your Landscape
With NSF you can start to
Restore your landscape’s function
Increase your farms’ productivity and profitability
Build your natural capital
Play your part in managing our climate
The Evolution of a Contour
Create an Everlasting Impact with NSF
By focusing on the simplicity to manage the complexity.
Natural Sequence Farming used throughout our environments can result in the rehydration of landscapes, regeneration of soils and the restoration of our ecosystems.
This will see an increase in productivity and profitability for our farmers — strengthening our communities' economic and social well-being. And a greater resilience to the effects of drought, fire and flood across our landscapes.

The Home of Natural Sequence Farming
Fifty years of learning how land heals.
Three generations of the Andrews family have spent their lives reading, restoring and teaching Natural Sequence Farming. Now we help landholders like you learn to read your land and work with it, not against it.
Since 2012
Teaching landholders
3 Generations
Of the Andrews family
Where It Started
It began on one run-down farm.
In 1974, the Andrews family moved to “Tarwyn Park”, a former horse stud that was salinised, badly eroded and worn out. Rather than fight the land, Peter Andrews watched it. He saw the landscape falling apart, and that it held every answer if you stopped and observed how it worked.
What he learned about water, plants and landscape function became Natural Sequence Farming.
In 2012, Stuart Andrews started Tarwyn Park Training to teach it. Since then, three generations of the Andrews family and a team of practitioners have taught landholders across Australia, and grown from one course into education, planning and on-ground works.

Why We Teach First
The best results come from landholders who understand their land.
Earthworks alone don’t fix a landscape. The properties that turn around are run by people who understand why water moves the way it does, and who can manage the land well after the machines have gone.
That’s why everything we do starts with learning. We teach in the classroom, online and in the paddock, but the most important part is always getting out and working with your own landscape. Once you understand it, we can help you plan and build.

Our Documentary
See NSF working on farms across Australia.
Rehydrate Australia is a road trip to properties where landholders are tackling drought, fire, and flood by rehydrating their landscapes.
Every landholder in the film is a Tarwyn Park Training graduate.
What our graduates say
“I feel like I’ve discovered my life’s work improving this place, and the results that we’re seeing are amazing.”
Ra Briggs
“Cona Creek”, Springsure QLD
“We've got so much water still on the farm, and you can see it in the pastures already. We actually have more stock on this farm than we've ever had in 24 years.”
Matt Moran
“Moran Family Farm”, Rockley NSW
“The area where the work has been done is the first to green up, and it's the last to dry out. It's basically given us a second bite at the cherry, and that's money in the bank for us.”
Kate Usmar
“Arrawatta Station”, Inverell NSW
“If I had one regret, it would be that I wish I would have done it sooner.”
Richard Brimblecombe
“Clearwater”, Glenmorgan QLD
“The first paddock you should change is the one between your ears. That's where you hold your paradigms.”
Charlie Arnott
“Hanaminno”, Boorowa NSW
