Programme
The Nature Conservation Agency of Iceland recruits volunteers directly between February and March each year.
The placement starts in June with a training week programme in footpath maintenance and design, using stones and timber.
Volunteer tasks
Trail Teams will do projects involving building, repairing and maintaining small bridges, boardwalks, drains and stone steps in remote natural trails.
Trail Teams support the activities of local rangers, take part in wilderness restoration actions, such as the removal of invasive plants and obliteration of tracks left by illegal off-road driving.
Pictures of the work done by the volunteers are available on our Facebook page
