Reforest Fest is back for another year of planting trees, connecting with nature and finding serenity; one lucky person has the chance to win and be a part of the exciting weekend.
South Africa (22 January 2024) – Local environmental organisation Greenpop is set to host its annual flagship tree planting and restoration event, Reforest Fest 2024. This year, it returns for its 12th year, adding thousands more trees to the South African landscape all the while advocating human connections, embracing nature, art, music, and community.
Over the years, Reforest Fest has become a symbol of hope and positive change. At its core, this wholesome festival is all about trees. Thousands of trees are planted each year, with the goal of restoring indigenous forests and reviving ecosystems. This journey extends beyond the weekend as planting sites gradually transform from alien-dominated landscapes into thriving habitats filled with newly planted tree seedlings.
The goal set for this year, is a phenomenal 5,000 trees planted. If you would like to join, you can get your tickets here: The Reforest Fest 2024 is taking place from March 29th to April 1st, 2024, at Bodhi Khaya Nature Retreat in the Overberg region.
While the festival focuses on trees, it is also about people. Participants spend their days planting trees with friends, returning to a camp filled with music and delicious food. The event welcomes local and international artists and offers a variety of plant-based meals. The festival is also a family-friendly affair and has something for kids of all ages, as well as a dedicated kiddies area with fun activities throughout the weekend.
Greenpop’s Reforest Fest has been a major tree-planting event since 2011, contributing to the restoration of Platbos Forest Reserve and Bodhi Khaya Nature Retreat. To date, the project has planted over 125,000 trees, aiding the preservation of the forest and its unique species.
This year, the planting efforts expanded not only to Bodhi Khaya but also to three surrounding conservation properties in the Overberg Valley. Greenpop envisions Reforest Fest as Africa’s largest citizen-led restoration festival, attracting a global audience.
