Last season at our Langidalur camp

Our Langidalur base camp has been at the heart of the volunteer programme since it was established in 2013. Facilities for the teams are very basic but have developed over the years and now include a kitchen area, food store, drying hut and shower.

The trail work projects take place from April to October and it is exciting to experience Thórsmörk’s changing weather and conditions during this time. These pictures of the Langidalur camp were taken over 7 months last season.

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

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.

That day last summer…

Pictures from our visit to the volcanic eruption in Reykjanes.

Last August, we took a short break from the trail work so that we could go and see the ongoing volcanic eruption. The day trip for our team of 18 volunteers was made possible by our friends at This is Iceland, who have supported our work in Thórsmörk since we began more than ten years ago.

It was great to share the experience with our team and it was a truly memorable day for us all.
