As Landcarers, we’re often focused on getting things done at the ground level. Informed by the bigger picture, absolutely, but then turning that information into practical action in our local area.
Taking a step back to tell our story on camera was a rare opportunity to take more of a birds-eye view of our work; a parallel to the drone footage of a long expanse of revegetation making connections through a highly cleared landscape. It gave us a chance to reflect on what we have achieved through working with our amazing volunteers and connecting up with other groups and organisations, powered by a strong and common concern to do something positive in the face of climate change.
We engaged Suzannah Cowley and her team from Nviro Media to create a short video, funded by our NSW Environmental Trust Grant and YAN. We provided an outline of what we thought should be covered—the people, motivation, ideas, and publicly available resources that make our program possible—with the aim of inspiring others to start their own climate-ready journeys. Suzannah then applied her professional craft to produce an engaging video that delivers a powerful message.
We are really happy with the outcome, and we hope you like it too! We’d love to hear what this inspires in your own patch.
