Looking back at 2024… Pictures from our adventures last summer

As the year draws to an end, we look back at the summer with our Trailteams in Thórsmörk.

We have collected some of our favourite pictures that were taken by our volunteers. They show our amazing teams out working and exploring the trails, and capture everyday life at the volunteer camps. They bring back many great memories of the summer and our time together in Thórsmörk.
Our 2024 Volunteer Gallery.

We have now begun to gather the teams for next season.
Placement applications for 2025 are open and full details including dates and application forms can be found here.

All quiet at our Langidalur camp

The teams are now almost ready and it will soon be time to return to our Langidalur camp and prepare for the arrival of our first volunteers of the season.

It is always exciting to return after the winter and we look forward to heading back to Thórsmörk and Goðaland as the snow clears and we can begin survey work on the trail network and prepare our lists of work tasks for 2024.

These pictures were taken this week by our friends at the Volcano Huts in Húsadalur.

Land and Forest Iceland (Land og Skógur)

The New Year brings some exciting changes to our organisation. From January 1st, Iceland’s Forest Service (Skógræktin) and Soil Conservation Service (Landgræðslan) have been combined to form a new state agency that is called “Land and Forest Iceland” (Land og Skógur).

The work of the Trailteam.is programme will continue in the new institution and we look forward to returning to Thórsmörk and Goðaland in the spring to begin our 12th season.
