In Iceland, a reforestation group is restoring a parcel of land called “Skógar” (or “forests”). It is both an historic and treasured site in Iceland. It was the location where, in the 9th century and beyond, tribal chiefs of the early settlers met to resolve disputes and discuss other issues. It is also the site where Matthias Jochumsson, the Poet-Laureate of Iceland, was born.
