Volunteers wanted! – The search for our 2015 team begins

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.

Summer 2015 – Plans for next season…

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.

Countdown to summer – Final deadline for volunteer registration

Although our friends in the north might not feel it yet, summer is most definitely on the way!
We are now only about 4 week away from returning to Langidalur to setup the volunteer base camp in preparation for official start of the 2014 programme planned for 20th May.

As we move into our fieldwork season, we need to complete the registration process for everyone intending to join us this summer. Once we are back out on the trails, communications can be difficult (we don’t leave anyone behind in the office) so we ask all our returning volunteers to complete the registration process by 18th April.

Don’t miss your chance!
