The second issue of Skógræktarritið has now been published and is in circulation to subscribers. The Journal is the only journal in Iceland specifically dedicated to forestry and is therefore the main forum for writing for Icelandic foresters and other forestry enthusiasts. The content of the Journal is therefore very diverse.
The second issue contains articles on the Tree of the Year 2022, the first tree in a very long time to reach 30 m in Iceland, about shelterbeds and their effects on microclimate and plant growth, about forestry in “hopeless” areas, about the legal framework for forestry in terms of livestock, about a forestry field trip to Morocco, about the general meeting of the Icelandic Forestry Association and a think piece one the interaction between trees and people, as well as an overview of the main forestry statistics for 2021 and memorials.

L’Association de Foresterie d’Islande a le plaisir d’annoncer le vernissage de l’exposition « Les Femmes Qui Plantent Des Arbres » en collaboration avec l’artiste visuelle américaine Christalena Hughmanick (www.christalenahughmanick.com/) et l’Alliance Française de Reykjavík (www.af.is/).
En août 2021, l’Association de Foresterie a initié une collaboration avec Christalena Hughmanick pour un projet spécial liant art et forêt, avec l’ambition de faire découvrir le monde de la foresterie au grand public. L’objectif de ce projet était de donner davantage de visibilité aux femmes qui ont participé – et participent encore aujourd’hui – aux efforts de reboisement menés en Islande depuis les années 1930, de partager leur point de vue et de montrer comment elles interagissent quotidiennement avec « leurs » arbres.
C’est le nord de l’Islande qui a été mis au centre de cette démarche. Cette région n’a pas été seulement été choisie parce qu’elle est l’un des endroits les plus boisés du pays, mais aussi parce que les quatre associations forestières bénévoles de la région et la plus grande pépinière d’Islande, située à Akureyri, sont toutes gérées par des femmes.
L’objectif était de comprendre ce qui lie les gens à leurs forêts. Le projet explore ainsi comment les forêts incarnent l’ambition collective de faire face à la crise environnementale et d’améliorer les conditions de vie en Islande depuis près d’un siècle. Christalena Hughmanick a donc enregistré des sons de la nature – tels que le vent soufflant à travers les arbres – et a recueilli les biographies de femmes inspirantes du Nord et d’ailleurs. Elle a également animé un événement de méditation au cœur de la forêt Kjarnaskógur avec des femmes provenant des associations forestières d’Ólafsfjörður et d’Eyjafjörður, à l’occasion duquel elles ont pu se rencontrer et se connecter ensemble à l’écosystème forestier en mobilisant tous leurs sens. L’événement a été enregistré et peut être écouté sur Youtube : www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tMifDsru-c.
C’est le résultat de cette recherche artistique que Christalena présente dans son exposition. Elle sortira un album digital contenant les interviews de certaines des femmes qu’elle a rencontrées ainsi que des sons de la nature qu’elle a enregistrés. Ces entretiens et photographies de ses voyages en 2021 seront présentés pendant toute la durée de l’exposition.
Le titre de l’exposition s’inspire de „L’homme qui plantait des arbres“, un court essai écrit par Jean Giono en 1953 sur Elzéard Bouffier, un éleveur de moutons qui décide de planter des chênes et des bouleaux dans les montagnes de Haute-Provence et présente – d’une très belle manière – les améliorations sociales et environnementales qui se produisent au fil des ans pour la petite communauté montagnarde. Une histoire qui entre particulièrement en résonnance avec l’histoire de la foresterie islandaise au cours du XXe siècle.
Le vernissage de l’exposition aura lieu le vendredi 2 décembre 2022, à 18h30, à l’Alliance Française, Tryggvagata 8, 2e étage. Christalena Hughmanick présentera son travail, les photos et l’album aux visiteurs, et des extraits de « L’homme qui plantait des arbres » seront lus en islandais, français et anglais. L’événement en ligne peut être trouvé sur Facebook en suivant ce lien : https://www.facebook.com/events/863001364879565/863001388212896/?ref=newsfeed
Christalena Hughmanick organisera également un atelier de cyanotype à l’Alliance française pour enseigner les teintures naturelles et les éco-impressions sur tissu avec des matériaux forestiers. L’événement aura lieu le samedi 3 décembre de 11h à 15h. Il est possible de s’inscrire ici pour l’atelier: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/atelier-cyanotype-tickets-470926924107?fbclid=IwAR03PN61jbuFQlartD–ZwR2lNUXVUg9xqYbd485c0oGzzpyfm7kR0gLwyk
Elle restera ensuite pour accueillir les visiteurs jusqu’à 18h pour répondre aux questions concernant son travail et l’exposition.
Skógræktarfélag Íslands has the pleasure to announce the opening of the exhibition “The Women who plant trees” in collaboration with American visual artist Christalena Hughmanick (www.christalenahughmanick.com/) and the Alliance Francaise of Reykjavík (www.af.is/).
In August 2021, Skógræktarfélag Íslands began a collaboration with Christalena Hughmanick for a special project linking art and forestry, with the ambition to bring the world of forestry to the general public through art. The purpose of this project was to give visibility to the women who have been and still are participating in the reforestation efforts led in Iceland since the 1930s, to share their perspective, and to show how they engage daily with their forests.
The focus was put on the North of Iceland. This area was not only chosen because it is one of the most anciently forested places of the country, but also because the four volunteer forestry associations of the area and the biggest tree nursery of Iceland, situated in Akureyri, are all managed by women.
The goal was to understand what links people to their forests. The project therefore explores how forests embody the collective ambition to address the environmental crisis and improve life conditions in Iceland for almost a century. Christalena Hughmanick recorded nature sounds such as wind blowing through trees and collected the biographies of inspiring women from the North and more. She also led a mediation event at the heart of Kjarnaskógur with women from the forestry associations of Ólafsfjörður and Eyjafjörður, at the occasion of which they could meet and connect to nature together by mobilizing all their senses. The event was recorded and can be listened to on Youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tMIfDsru-c.
It is the result of those investigations that Christalena will be presenting in her exhibition. She will be releasing a digital album containing the interviews with some of the women she has met as well as nature sounds that she has recorded. These interviews and photographs of her travels in 2021 will be displayed for the duration of the exhibition. The title of the exhibition is inspired by “The man who planted trees”, a short essay by Jean Giono written in 1953 about Elzéard Bouffier, a sheep farmer who takes upon himself to plant oaks and birch trees in the French mountains of Provence and presents – in a beautiful way – the social and environmental improvements happening over the years for the small mountain community. A story resonating a lot with the history of the Icelandic forestry during the 20th century.
The opening of the exhibition will be on Friday 2nd of December 2022, at 6:30pm, at the Alliance Francaise, Tryggvagata 8, 2nd floor. Christalena Hughmanick will be presenting her work, the pictures, and the album to the visitors, and excerpts of “The man who planted trees” will be read in Icelandic, French and English. The online event can be found on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/events/863001364879565/863001388212896/?ref=newsfeed
Christalena Hughmanick will also be holding a cyanotype workshop event at the Alliance Francaise to teach about natural dyes and eco-prints on fabric with forest material. The event will be held on Saturday 3rd of December from 11am to 15pm. It is possible to register here for the workshop:
She will then stay to welcome visitors until 6pm to answer questions about her work and the exhibition.
