Land and Forest Iceland

Forestry projects on legal estates

This project facilitates afforestation on privately held land to:

  • enhance land use,

  • foster regional development,

  • and elevate overall quality.

Landowners and farmers may participate in afforestation initiatives on their properties for commercial or other land improvement and sustainability objectives.

Shelterbelts are frequently incorporated into these projects, involving the strategic planting of trees and shrubs to:

  • mitigate land erosion (wind and water),

  • enhance microclimate for agricultural production and livestock,

  • and provide shelter for people, livestock, structures, and farming operations.
