Michael and Kay Shanahan are demonstrating how long-term stewardship can restore landscapes while supporting productive farming. Over three decades at Tidbinbilla Station, the couple have tackled severe erosion along Tidbinbilla Creek through innovative regenerative land management, including a chain-of-ponds restoration project developed with research and government partners. Their work is rehydrating floodplains, improving water quality, stabilising creek banks and creating habitat for wildlife including platypus and native fish. By openly sharing lessons learned through farm tours and landcare events, the Shanahans are inspiring other landholders to invest in practical, landscape-scale environmental solutions.
