The first volunteers of 2014…

Our first volunteers arrived in Thórsmörk last week to help with preparations at the Langidalur base camp. The team included EVS (European Voluntary Service) volunteers from the Hafnafjöður Scouts who joined for the first time this season. As well as general repairs at the camp, work included setting up a new composting system, planting a few birch trees and painting our hut – inside and out (they were also very good at lighting the campfire!).

The team had a chance to explore the area and help begin this season’s GIS data collection as we continue our work extending the pathfinder mapping project throughout the area. After ten days alone at the Langidalur camp it was good to have some company – Thank you to everyone who came to help!

Now we can start the summer…
