Land and Forest Iceland

Forestry

Land and Forest Iceland manages over fifty legally designated forestry land estates nationwide, excluding the Westfjords. Legally designated National Forests fall under our purview. We also collaborate with farmers, the public, associations, companies, and other stakeholders on diverse forestry projects. Furthermore, research and education are key institutional priorities.

Iceland's diverse regions feature National Forests, offering unrestricted public access and, in select locations, camping amenities.
