Eden Project

Run for the Rainforest

Join our running team and take positive steps towards conserving the world’s rainforests. Whether you are running the Eden Marathon, the London Marathon or taking part in your own sporting challenge, join our team and raise funds to help protect the future of our planet.

The world’s tropical rainforests are home to a diverse community of plants, animals and people. They clean the air, make rain, and regulate our climate. Deforestation is shrinking remaining forests at an alarming rate, causing species that rely on them to become extinct, and releasing large amounts of carbon dioxide into the environment in the process.

Eden's Rainforest Experience

The Eden Project celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2011 and to mark this milestone we are aiming to creating Europe’s leading rainforest educational resource here at Eden. Our new ‘Rainforest Encounter’ will include a rainforest canopy walkway and a base camp learning centre in the tropical Biome. Our visitors, both physical and virtual, will gain an understanding of the vital importance of rainforest conservation and be inspired to take action.

Education is key to our planet’s future. A generation that does not understand or value the natural world will not strive to protect it. In raising money for Eden’s Rainforest Education projects, you are helping us to inspire future generations and building a better future for us all.
