CAVES AND CANYON IN THE EAST OF ICELAND

In this project SEEDS volunteers will be mostly doing construction, repair and/or marking work in hiking trails and walking paths in the East of Iceland.

Additional tasks may be cleaning or beautifying the area, like hand-picking garbage or collecting trash blown by the wind or brought by the sea to the shores and surrounds.
