THE Coffs Coast Branch of the National Parks Association (NPA) is on the lookout for a filmmaker to highlight the natural wonders of the region.

The documentary-style film has a budget of $20,000.

“Nature’s beauty surrounds us here on the Coffs Coast, but how often do we truly listen to its whispers?” a spokesperson for the NPA Coffs Coast Branch told NOTA.

“‘Whispers of Wilderness: Discovering Coffs Coast’s Untold Stories’ promises to be a ten-minute film that will open our eyes to the environmental treasures in our own backyard.

“This isn’t just another nature documentary; it’s a love letter to our home, a celebration of our heritage, and a rallying cry for our future.

“From the lush national parks to the vibrant marine reserves, from the echoes of indigenous wisdom to the potential of the Great Koala National Park, this film will weave together the threads that make our region unique.”

The NPA hopes the film will be a “catalyst for change”, sparking a passion for conservation in every viewer.

“It’s an invitation to rediscover the wonders around us, to engage with local environmental efforts, and to become stewards of our natural heritage.”
