In the summer 2000, a project was started in Iceland to celebrate the turn of the century and the 70th anniversary of Iceland Forestry Society.

Five Millennium Forests (Aldamótaskógur) were planted in Iceland; one tree for each living Icelander.

The plants, representing the inhabitants of Austurland, where planted by Tinnudalsá river (Tinna), at Eydalir.

A few decades before, some trees had been planted in that same area turning it into a great outdoor recreational area.

A beautiful marked hiking trail runs through the forest, along Tinna.
