PAST EVENTS
The Treading Lightly – Re-Generation – Youth Agents of Change are a group of young people who care about the environment in which we live in.
They are committed to making an impact, and invited the community to see how slow fashion can make a difference, specifically through the way we purchase and dispose of clothing here in the Shoalhaven.
We joined together on Sun 21st of May 2023 to hear form local businesses and organisations who lead the way in slow fashion.
Words can’t describe how proud we are of them, so for now we just want to say a HUGE thank you to them, to our panelists from Pearl Button Bridal, Samook Designs, Skylla Clothing, and @konnubialsxkiki and Fiona from Shoalhaven City Council who all just blew everyone away with their passion and knowledge.
Thanks to the The Treehouse Cafe for nourishing everyone and for providing the most perfect venue, and to wonderful Catfish Creative for creating the most incredible digital harvest of all the info shared this afternoon. We will be sharing that soon, along with some beautiful captures of the day thanks to our Jade from Heart and the Sea.
Trust us when we say the future is in GREAT HANDS!
During May and June we held four Mushroom Growing Workshops at the Treading Lightly Hub
Author, editor and gourmet mushroom grower Marita Smith from Milton Mushrooms shared her expertise and knowledge so the 48 attendees could learn to grow their own mushrooms at home. The interesting sessions taught them how to safely forage, harvest, grow and cook this nutrient-dense and abundant produce.
On the 19th of June 2022 at the Milton theatre, we screened a local film highlighting the importance of connecting Aboriginal Elders, fire practitioners and youth to create healthy communities and Country.
Cultural Burning for Resilience is an Aboriginal-led community project, supported by the University of Wollongong’s Global Challenges Program and Treading Lightly Inc. The action research project brings together Aboriginal high school students with Yuin Elders and cultural land management practitioners from the South Coast to learn about good fire, bad fire, and connection to Country.
The project was a collaboration between Yuin Indigenous Elders and community –
Ulladulla Local Aboriginal Land Council and local Yuin cultural fire practitioners; students from Ulladulla, Batemans Bay, Bomaderry & Nowra High School students & teachers.
We were so excited to finally be able to bring community together to watch this beautiful film on the big screen here on Yuin Country.
You can now view the movie yourself at home. CLICK HERE

Gateway Community Sculpture workshops
We were proud to partner with local Nowra artist, Dora Rognvaldsdottir to host community workshops, at our Treading Lightly Community Hub during June 2021.
Participants were able to contribute to a public art sculpture that focuses on the 2019 – 2020 bushfires. They helped to create ceramic and mosaic panels of local native animals which will be integrated into the amazing sculpture by Dora. The final product will be erected at Ulladulla Harbour.

This was an important platform for fire affected communities to create together, a beautiful artwork that we can all be proud of.
