How we are creating a forest in this barren patch of Iceland
Показать описание
Iceland is a strange place to plant trees but for us it is one of the most logical places to try and bring back forests. In this video we tell you a bit more about the context around our projects and also some concrete details on how we are planning to plant 1 million trees here.

🔎 ABOUT THIS PROJECT
===============================
Iceland is known for its vast open landscapes shaped by massive volcanos and expansive glaciers. Native birchwoods, the only woodland type to form in Iceland, are also an important part of the landscape. They offer food and shelter for biodiversity, help stabilise soil, provide wind breaks, and sequester carbon. At one point, it is thought that 25-40% of Iceland was covered in birchwoods. Now, it is a mere 1.5%. This project, in partnership with the Iceland Forest Service, aims to restore birchwoods to an area about 120km east of Reykjavik where natural succession could take centuries or even millennia.
