Land for Wildlife South East Queensland commissioned Nicolas to produce a short film and a set of stills documenting a partner property where the landholders are working to protect and restore semi-evergreen vine thicket on their land.

Semi-evergreen vine thicket is a nationally listed endangered ecological community, a form of dry rainforest known for the bottle trees that emerge above its dense, low canopy. Extensive clearing has reduced these thickets to a fraction of their former extent. Restoration is slow work, measured in years and decades rather than seasons, and assignments like this one are a chance to give that long, patient effort some visibility.
