Langidalur Volunteer

Nov 4

Thank you to our volunteers!

We would like to say a huge thank you to all the volunteers who joined us in Thórsmörk this season. It was another amazing summer and we really do appreciate all the hard work that was done by our teams.

This year we were joined by 45 international volunteers and together we completed more than 200 weeks of trail maintenance and practical conservation tasks throughout Thórsmörk and Goðaland.

We do hope that everyone enjoyed their time with us at the volunteer camps and all those long sunny days out on the hiking trails.

Preparations for next season begin soon. Dates, details and application forms for our 2024 projects will be available here on December 15th.

Out in the snow

Enjoying the late snowfall in April with a hike on the Fimmvörðuháls trail. This weekend we were exploring Thórsmörk and Goðaland with Lisa Germany, our new trail building friend from Greenland.

Out on the trails today…

Our trail surveys began with a hike in the sunshine on Valahnúkur today.

The trails are looking good after the winter, but there are plenty of exciting tasks ready for our Trailteams who will be joining us soon.

Returning to Langidalur

We arrived back in Langidalur in time for the first day of summer.

This first trip of the season is our chance to start a survey of trail conditions after the winter and to deliver equipment and supplies ahead of our first volunteer teams who will be joining us in May. It is very exciting to be back on on the trails and we are looking forward to our Trailteam summer.

Getting ready for summer

This week we have escaped the office and returned to our practical work, getting ready for our Trailteam summer in Thórsmörk and Goðaland.

Following a busy winter of preparations, our teams are now ready and we are looking forward to getting back to work on the trails next month.

As usual, the season has begun at our workshop at the Thjórsárdalur Forestry Station (pictured) where we are preparing equipment and materials for our summer volunteer teams.
