Last call for returning volunteers!

This year we have a series of special 2-week projects open to experienced volunteers who have worked with us before. Before we close applications for this season, we wanted to make a last call for participants…

The projects follow our regular 2-week placement format but are particularly challenging because of their timing (early or late season) or location.

  • Sign making and mapping (08/05 – 21/05)
  • Long-range trail team (10/07 – 23/07)
  • GPS data gathering and trail mapping (28/08 – 10/09)

These placements are open to any volunteers who have worked with us before. If you are interested in joining us again or finding out more about the projects, please get in touch; thorsmork@trailteam.is

The final deadline for applications in April 23rd so don’t delay!

Summer team ready

Finally, we have completed our search for volunteers for the summer and this week we are finishing the interviews and placement allocations.

We have been overwhelmed by the amount of interest and the number of applications that we have received. However places are limited and it has been a real challenge to make the selection. It is very nice to have so many volunteers return to Thórsmörk to join us for a second season.

As we are now allocating the last places and waiting lists have been crated for the teams, unfortunately we cannot consider further applications for this summer.

Each season, our search for volunteers begins in mid-December and runs for six weeks. The deadline for applicants is at the end of January.

Pre-departure meetings for our team

Tomorrow’s application deadline will be followed by a final round of interviews and placement allocations in February. Once these are completed, our attention will turn to preparing the team and organising the summer projects.

This season, we will invite all new participants to pre-departure Skype meetings that will take place 4-6 weeks before the placements start. These meetings are an opportunity to discuss travel plans and equipment as well as any other details. They will help to answer any last minute questions and ensure that all participants are prepared for their visit, and ready for their adventures in Thórsmörk.

Applications remain open throughout January 31st – Full placement details and application forms
