🌟 Michael Tichbon
Boyanup conservationist and orchardist Michael Tichbon served on Capel Shire Council and was founding president of the Capel Land Conservation District Committee from 1992 to 2017. He also helped establish the Capel River Action Plan. His interests extended from habitat protection to fruit breeding: he co-bred the Goldrush pear. Recognised with the Medal of the Order of Australia for conservation service, he became an Honorary Freeman of the Shire in 2023. His local contribution combines environmental work with the practical knowledge of someone who has spent years growing things.
