Thank you to all for a wonderful year. We would like to wish all our volunteers, friends and supporters, a very Happy Christmas!
We are delighted to announce the publication of our volunteer programme dates for summer 2015.
Our 6-week placements are once again a central part of our programme and following the success of last season, there will be a series of 2-week placements available as well and short-term placements will join the ongoing projects throughout the summer. This season Operations team places will be for 7 or 9 weeks to provide additional support early and late in the season. Once again, there is no participation fee for any of the placements.
As the end of the year approaches, it is time to announce our plans for next season…
We are delighted to confirm that the our volunteers will return to Thórsmörk in 2015 and we have been busy gathering the details for our summer programme. It is a very exciting time for us as we are able to build on the success of our last season, make a few key changes as well as introduce some new ideas.
Next year, placements will run from 2-9 weeks and once again there will be no participation fee. Full details and application forms will be published on our homepage on 19th December. There will be 2-week and 6-week placements as well as opportunities with our “Operations Team” (responsible for leading groups and supporting the projects). The allocation of placements will begin immediately with the first interviews planned for early January. Places are allocated as soon as suitable applicants are found and we expect this process to be completed by Easter.
Don’t miss your chance to join us!

One of our most ambitions and challenging projects has been the building of timber steps close to Kattarhryggur on the Fimmvörðuháls trail. Work began in 2013 and continued with a second phase last summer.
There is more work to do and we look forward to returning to the site, but we have collected together these albums of pictures to tell the story so far…
We are putting together an album of pictures of volunteers who joined our team last summer. Was there really that much sunshine?
