Creating and marking trails in the Stafafell mountains in Iceland

Volunteers will work in the area of Lónsöræfi or the Lón district, located in the East of Iceland. We will work in the municipality of Hornafjörður, in cooperation with some locals and the Environmental Agency.

The volunteers will be mostly working on the hiking trails and walking paths in this beautiful mountainous area. The main tasks of the group will be making and marking walking trails on the different routes in the area. The work is physical and tools may include the sledge (sledgehammer) and crowbar.

Well maintained paths enable people to visit these amazing areas without damaging them and this important work also helps to improve safety for visitors. Additional tasks may be cleaning or beautifying the surroundings, like picking garbage or collecting trash blown by the wind or brought by some visitors. Some of the trails are located in an isolated area and the group may spend the day at the work site. The group may be split during the day to work in different locations.

Project dates:
