Get to know us

Revive Knysna came into existence over 3 years ago when two friends, Gail and Paula, decided to become active citizens and stand up to protect the estuary by playing a part in the positive future of the beautiful town they call home, Knysna.



After all, the estuary is what sustains Knysna.


We're now a registered non-profit organisation with approximately 20 volunteers and growing. Over 25 projects completed and 6 hard-working staff.


We're most proud of the fact that other local communities have joined our movement, there is now have a Revive Sedgefield and a Revive Brenton.
