Talk: A Festival Forest in Iceland

Festivals from all over Europe are calling for climate action by planting a forest: the Festivals Forest in Iceland. In collaboration with the Icelandic Forestry Service, 2500 trees will be planted per hectare – from soft birches to black cottonwood and Siberian larch – to reduce the carbon footprint of festivals and, eventually, to eliminate it altogether. Peter Florence is the initiator of the project and – together with Wonderfeel director Tamar Brüggemann – the driving force behind the European Festivals Forest. He will be speaking with Þröstur Eysteinsson, the director of the Icelandic Forestry Service.
