A Restoration Celebration, Easter Weekend 2025

18 – 21 April 2025 | Bodhi Khaya Nature Retreat

Reforest Fest is an annual restoration celebration that brings people together to plant thousands of trees while enjoying a celebration like no other. It’s a festival for everyone and whether you celebrate Easter or not, there is much to be grateful for over this long weekend.

Where creativity meets participation, join in the diverse array of entertainment with interactive art & theatre for the whole family – all whilst having a blast getting active for the environment. Help restore degraded land; attend workshops, talks & classes. Celebrate under the stars with local live music & DJ’s and delight in the wholesome food village.

Since 2011, Greenpop’s biggest tree-planting event of the year has always been the Reforest Fest! By facilitating attendees to plant between 5,000 and 10,000 indigenous trees each year, this event contributes towards Greenpop’s Uilenkraal Forest Restoration Project which aims to restore degraded forest patches at the Platbos Forest Reserve and Bodhi Khaya Nature Retreat. So far, the project has planted over 150,000 trees, restoring forest habitat and furthermore helping to preserve and expand a forest that is home to many incredible, often endangered, species, such as our elusive apex predator, the Cape Leopard. Other creatures that make use of the indigenous forests for their survival include Bushbuck, Large-spotted Genet, and baboons.

Greenpop has been producing the Reforest Fest since 2011, facing both the fun and challenges of building the needed momentum to get enough people to join this exciting weekend adventure with us. We aim to avoid becoming a marketing machine in the lead-up to the festival. Instead, we create set times and communications for ticket availability, allowing our social media and newsletters to feature a healthy amount of updates on our other great programmes and reporting. Thank you for understanding.
 
Please mark your calendars for the next release date. Tickets always sell out, so be sure to buy in the earlier phases, and support our festival by getting active for the planet.
 
Do you have a group you would like to attend? Buy tickets for 10 or more people and get you tickets immediately and at the previous phase price.
 
Are you unable to afford the current ticket price? Send us an email at [email protected]. Motivate the cost of what you would be able to afford and we will assist you no questions asked.
 
Stay up to date with the latest news, ticket phase updates and more by subscribing to Greenpop’s newsletter and selecting “Events & Festivals” to never miss a Reforest Fest update.
