Skálanes is a private sector nature and heritage centre within a 1250 hectare nature reserve in East Iceland, 16km from the nearest town of Seyðisfjörður. For the next 5 months (April -September 2011) I will be working as a Ranger on the reserve, undertaking practical management, monitoring wildlife and leading volunteer groups.

During my time at Skálanes I aim to try and keep a regular diary of my work on the reserve and my life in this beautiful and wild country. This blog is mainly aimed at my family and friends, but I also hope it will appeal to anyone who might be interested in nature conservation.

Reading the signs...

Unfortunately everything starts to get a bit tired and worn out after a while, and I´m not just talking about myself. The main sign at Skálanes had seen better days, with two of the five panels falling apart.  So taking the original sign we have now recycled three of the panels and used them in three individual sign "cairns".

Many thanks to the Desire group for their work on the signs and especially Master Builder Colin and Apprentice Dylan!

Work in progress, but looking good...
New use for the old parking sign
