The Icelandic Forestry Association wishes everyone a Happy New Year!
Special thanks to all the forestry associations in Iceland – and all our other friends, partners and supporters – for their cooperation this past year.
Rótarskot is for anyone who wants to reduce the amount of fireworks purchased or who doesn’t want to buy fireworks, but for each Rótarskot purchased a tree will be planted by volunteers from search & rescue services and forestry associations. With the purchase of Rótarskot, you support the work of the search & rescue services and forestry in the country.
Rótarskot can be bought at the fireworks markets of search & rescue services all over the country and on the website of Landsbjörg: https://www.landsbjorg.is/verslun/rotarskot
Rótarskot er upplagt fyrir alla sem vilja draga úr magni flugelda sem keyptir eru eða vilja ekki kaupa flugelda, en hvert slíkt skot gefur af sér tré sem plantað verður af sjálfboðaliðum björgunarsveita og skógræktarfélaga. Með kaupum á Rótarskoti styður þú starf björgunarsveitanna og skógrækt í landinu.
Rótarskot má kaupa á flugeldamörkuðum björgunarsveita um land allt og á heimasíðu Landsbjargar: https://www.landsbjorg.is/verslun/rotarskot
The Icelandic Forestry Association wishes you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Thank you to everyone who supported us in 2023 and we hope to see you in the forest in 2024!
Skógræktarfélag Íslands, landssamband skógræktarfélaganna, óskar landsmönnum öllum gleðilegra jóla og farsældar á komandi ári.
Við þökkum stuðninginn á liðnu ári og sjáumst hress í skóginum árið 2024!
A sitka spruce in Seyðisfjörður is the Tree of the year 2023. The tree stands close to where the house Sandfell (Hafnargata 34) stood, but the house was destroyed during landslides that hit the town of Seyðisfjörður in December 2020, particularly one that hit at December 18th. The landslide destroyed buildings to both sides of the tree, but the tree itself was relatively unharmed, and has thus come to be a symbol of the resilience of the townspeople. On the first anniversary of the landslide in 2021 a ceremony was held at the tree, which was lit up by electric lights with pictures of the houses destroyed in the landslide. The tree was planted in 1975 by the then residents of Sandfell. A nomination ceremony was held in September 2023 and as is customary a measurement of the tree was carried out. The height of the tree was measured at 10,9 metres, with a trunk circumference of 90,5 cm.
