Iceland

Iceland’s chapter follows John to a country reclaiming its forests after centuries of deforestation left the landscape barren and vulnerable to erosion. Partnering with reforestation groups, he witnesses efforts to restore native birch forests and repair damaged soils. Iceland’s tree planting initiatives are more than ecological; they represent a national movement to reclaim lost natural heritage and build climate resilience. John learns about the patience and persistence required to regenerate these northern forests. Iceland’s story is a testament to the power of renewal in a land determined to heal.
