At the Eden Festival of Action, you'll learn from sustainability experts, connect with active citizens, and grow your own capacity to make an impact.

Award-winning social enterprise Greenpop is on a mission to plant trees, green communities, and empower environmental stewards across Sub-Saharan Africa. And the upcoming Eden Festival of Action is your opportunity to get involved!

The Eden Festival of Action is an environmental impact festival combining practical ecosystem restoration work like tree-planting with a full line-up of workshops, talks, and activities from sustainability experts. The evenings are filled with campfire sessions, storytelling, and music from some of South Africa’s finest musicians.

Get active at the festival supporting our work in the Garden Route through:

  • Reforestation tree planting
  • Eco-education workshops
  • Mural painting
  • Alien vegetation clearing

The event aims to create an empowered regenerative community, equipping you to become custodians of the natural world, moving from commitment to action!

Join the 7-day sustainability experience this October and create real, long-term environmental impact.

Join Greenpop for a week of collaborative action

The Eden Festival of Action takes place at the Wild Spirit Lodge just outside Plettenberg Bay from 2-9 October. It's a festival of collaboration, connection, and time in nature for people of all ages. Join us for a week and get your hands dirty!

Learners aged 13 to 19 are also welcome. Greenpop's Youth Camp is an eco-adventure for budding leaders and active citizens.

Venue: Wild Spirit Lodge

In 2022 we will be returning to Wild Spirit Lodge – located near Nature's Valley in the heart of the Garden Route. The area is surrounded by the indigenous forests, pristine beaches and the mountains of the Tsitsikamma National Park.

The location is a perfect place to take a break in nature and give back to the surrounding landscape which is still suffering after the devastating 2017 fires.

Greenpop sets up the Green Village and we use the space to practice a low impact lifestyle. It's rustic but very comfortable – we pride ourselves on creating inspiring spaces. You can choose to bring your own tent, stay in a shared or private Greenpop tent, or rent a room at Wild Spirit Lodge. There is something to suit everyone.
