Meet the artists, experts, and facilitators joining us in the forest this year.
This is the heartbeat of Reforest Fest! Join the Greenpop community for an inspiring morning of ecosystem restoration. After a high-energy group warm-up and a scenic walk to the site, our expert facilitators will lead team demos to ensure everyone can plant a tree with confidence. Then you'll spend your morning getting your hands in the soil, fueled by incredible team spirit as we plant 5000+ trees and leave a living legacy for generations to come.
What to bring: A spade, closed-toe shoes, sun hat, water bottle, and your best Treevolutionary energy.
Why let the adults have all the fun? Our youngest tree planters get their own priority site for a morning of discovery and dirty fingernails. After the big group warm-up, families take a short walk to a dedicated zone close to the action. You’ll get a kid-friendly demo on how to give a tree its best start in life before getting to work. It’s the perfect way for kids to connect with the earth and see that they have the power to help the planet grow.
What to bring: Spades, closed-toe shoes, sun hats, water bottles, and big smiles.
