Sumarið 2023 voru gróðursettar 233.476 plöntur á landi Ljárskóga í Dölum. Samstarf við sveitarfélag og landeiganda gekk svo ótrúlega vel að ákveðið var að óska eftir framkvæmdaleyfi fyrir auka 52 hekturum á landinu og halda framkvæmdur áfram sumarið 2024.&#x20;
Þegar skógfræðingur og plantarar mættu á svæðið kom í ljós að talsverð frostlyfting hafði átt sér stað frá fyrra sumri, voru þetta óheppilegar fréttir en færði þetta okkur mikinn lærdóm sem fer í reynslubankann fyrir framkvæmdir næstu ára.  Fyrsta vika framkvæmda 2024 á Ljárskógum í að yfirfara gróðursetningu 2024, ýta þeim plöntum aftur niður sem höfðu poppað upp og endurplanta því sem þurfti áður en hafist var handa við plöntun á viðbótarsvæði. Voru þetta um 60.000 plöntur sem fóru niður á Ljárskógum þetta sumarið, bæði á viðbótarsvæði og í endurplöntun frá fyrra ári.&#x20;

Baseline additionality. Compared to the baseline scenario the project needs to mitigate climate change. That is the project must implement actions that are additional to what would occur compared to the baseline.

Level 1 additionality

Statutory additionality. The project must implement actions that are beyond requirements stipulated in local legislation or regulations. Projects are statutory additional if their implementation and/or operation is not required by any law, statute, or other regulatory framework, agreements, settlements, or other legally binding mandates requiring implementation and operation or requiring implementation of similar measures that would result in the same mitigations in the host country.

Level 2a additionality

Financial additionality II. The project is financially additional if it faces significant financial limitations that revenues from the sale of carbon credits mitigates or are revenues due to the sale of carbon credits are the only source of revenues. When carbon credit revenues are a precondition for the implementation of the project and/or carbon credit revenues are essential in maintaining the project operations and ongoing financial viability post-implementation, then they are considered to be financial additional II.

Level 4b additionality

Europe

Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all

SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth

Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts

SDG 13: Climate Action

Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss

SDG 15: Life on Land

Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development

SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals

Afforestation and reforestation

Ljárskógar in Dalir is the home of a forestry project focused on carbon sequestration. During the summer of 2023, approximately 280,000 trees—spruce, pine, aspen, birch, and larch—were planted in the area. The landscape was primarily characterized by moss-covered and heathland slopes, while the southern part of the site featured more fertile wetlands and grasslands. Some areas were sparse in vegetation, having been used as horse grazing land for many years, resulting in degraded soil conditions.
