Save Redwood Park
Redwood Park is a six minute drive from the heart of Toowoomba. Its 243ha forest comprises spectacular eucalyptus woodlands and rare dry rain forest providing ideal breeding habitats for over 158 native bird species. Disturbingly, Redwood Park WAS!! being promoted by the Toowoomba and Lockyer Valley Regional Councils as the preferred site for a 30 kilometre expansion of the escarpment’s network of downhill mountain bike tracks. This commercially driven proposal was a major concern to the Queensland conservationists as Redwood is a world-class fauna and flora site.
We were approached by The Darling Downs Environment Council (DDEC) to create a protest video to front their campaign to stop this development. The sound composition of the video production was a key element to the subconscious narrative of the story.
The protest was successful and the proposed bike tracks were banned.
