    Abstract

    Gordon Edmonds grew up at 'Ponds Creek' and he and his wife Jan took over management from Gordon's parents in the late 1980s. The Edmonds have revegetated 15% of 'Ponds Creek; and intend to increase this to 20-25% as part of their farm re-development plan. They have established 34 revegetation sites, planted more than 20 000 seedlings and direct seeded 50 km of trees and shrubs. This testimonial describes how they restore biodiversity, repair gully erosion, drought-proof their property, subdivide their country for better grazing management, ensure there is adequate shelter and water in each new paddock, and achieve market premiums for their livestock.
