Who we are

Húnaklúbburinn (Cubs Club) is a youth nature club, established in 2016 in Húnaþing vestra, with the purpose of connecting youth to nature by using a combination of environmental education and nature-based recreation.

Activities are designed holistically to help youth develop awareness of their role in environmental stewardship, while also learning about how their culture relates to the natural and cultural landscapes.
