R43 Padgebruikers Kla: Padmakers Moet Spoed V...
Gansbaai Courant het heelwat klagtes van padgebruikers ontvang dat die R43-pad tussen Stanford en Gansbaai onveilig is.
Join Greenpop for an idyllic, fun-filled weekend in the ancient Platbos Forest full of music, play, digging in and getting dirty as you help plant thousands of trees, and (re)connect with nature and a forest full of friends!
Together we’ll help rehabilitate Platbos and experience the spirit of holistic green living as we plant trees, camp under the stars and Milkwoods, dance to live music and become a part of growing Platbos Forest Reserve back to its original abundance.
Th e festival is split between a FAMILY weekend and a FRIENDS weekend. The family-focused weekend welcomes children of all ages, offers a range of exciting activities to get kids and adults interacting with the forest and each other, and ensures that music stops at about 10:30pm on Saturday night to give everyone a good night’s rest in the forest. The Friends weekend is the perfect place to bring old friends and meet new ones. The party goes on for longer and the eco-workshops and talks are aimed at a more adult audience, although all ages are welcome at both events!

Unplug, (re)Connect and Reforest
Greenpop launches its 2016 Reforest Fest at Platbos
For the 6th consecutive year, Greenpop Reforest Fest will take place in March 2016 and will continue the tradition of mass green action - and mass fun!
The Greenpop Reforest Fest is a festival that gets people together to plant thousands of trees in Africa’s southernmost forest. It’s a full experience of getting your hands dirty, connecting with old friends and new, dancing to live music, attending eco-workshops, and camping under the stars and Milkwoods.
Greenpop is a Cape Town-based social enterprise on a mission to (re)connect people with our planet and each other through planting trees - and have a whole lot of fun doing it. Reforestation festivals are a cornerstone of what they do, and the Greenpop Reforest Fest is a beautiful example.
In 2015, festival-goers planted 8001 trees in the Platbos Forest Reserve, helping rehabilitate this ancient forest back to its former abundance, and over two weekends they pushed the total number of trees planted by Greenpop over the 50 000 mark.
