Today we begin our search for volunteers for 2024.
The new programme includes both three and six-week volunteer placements as well as longer placements for team leaders. Places are limited and allocations begin in the New Year, so if you would like to join us next summer, don’t delay!
Full details including placement descriptions, dates and application forms are now available here…

Next summer we will be hosting long-term volunteers for 7-8 weeks at our Thórsmörk and Goðaland camps.
Our long-term volunteers work closely with their Forestry Service colleagues and are involved in all aspects of the Trailteam programme. This includes working on practical trail maintenance tasks in small groups as well taking on leadership responsibilities and supporting the 3 and 6-week volunteer teams.

For this exciting challenge, we are looking for participants who have experience of working with teams, enjoy camping and spending time hiking in wild and remote areas. These placements are especially well suited to applicants who wish to gain experience of practical conservation work, trail maintenance and team leadership.
Full details about the long-term placements and our other volunteer opportunities can be found on our website. Applications for 2024 will open on December 15th.

December is a very busy month in the Trailteam office. Planning for our 2024 Trailteam season is now well underway and the search for volunteers for next year will soon begin.
As well as our 3 and 6-week projects, a limited number of longer placements will also be available. We are looking for participants who have some experience of camping and hill walking, enjoy wilderness landscapes and are ready for a challenge.
