Katla Geopark is a partner of the University Centre of South Iceland in a project funded by the EFTA Development Fund (EEA Grants), but the project involves the development of a master's degree course on geotourism.
After Katla Geopark shared a poster on how to rescue fulmars along with its partners, numerous emails on the subject were sent to the Geopark.
At this time of the year, baby fulmars will start to fly from their nests. They often do not make it to where they wanted to go and many end up on roads or other places where they are in danger and/or cannot easily move away from.
Katla Geopark attended the final conference of the project "Ruritage - Cultural heritage as a tool for regional development", which was held in Paris last June and close to two hundred people attended.
Katla Geopark was visited in June by two groups, one from the Ruritage project and one from the Building Bridges project.
Today we formalised our partnership with Hotel Anna through a written partnership agreement!
On the 4th of May, Katla Geopark and the Icelandic Forestry Association signed a joint declaration of co-operation with the goals of trying to strengthen and increase interest in forests and forestry within Katla Geopark
