Project Information
The primary aims of this afforestation project are carbon sequestration and soil protection. The project is situated in a new forestry area spanning 186 hectares at the mouth of the Sanddalur valley on the Sveinatunga farm in Norðurárdal, West Iceland. It is located 40 kilometers inland and ranges in elevation from 80 to 290 meters above sea level. The forestry area, known as SP1, encompasses a relatively steep terrain. It consists of a mixture of mossy and gravel areas and relatively fertile ground, making it well suitable for cultivating species such as pine, birch, and larch that require less demanding conditions. Historically, the area was utilized for agriculture. Extensive sheep grazing over the centuries has caused damage to the land, prompting its designation solely for forestry purposes.
