ABOUT

JOIN US IN MAINTAINING THE BEAUTIFUL FAROE ISLANDS

The Faroe Islands is one of the most unspoiled and unpolluted places on earth and we are keen to ensure that our green islands remain so. Therefore, we invite volunteers to come and join us in maintaining the Faroe Islands each year.

Projects will include creating walking paths in well-trodden areas, constructing viewpoints that help preserve nature and birdlife sanctuaries, and erecting signs that help with wayfinding.
